Estadio Universitario

Estadio Universitario, Association football stadium in San Nicolás de los Garza, Mexico

Estadio Universitario, nicknamed El Volcán, is a football stadium on the UANL campus in San Nicolás de los Garza, part of the Monterrey metropolitan area. Its rectangular bowl of tiered seating encloses a grass pitch, with a large scoreboard at one end and floodlight banks above the stands. Current capacity is 41,615 spectators.

The stadium opened in 1967 and marked a turning point in Mexican professional football with its modern facilities. Over the following decades, it became a center for sporting achievements and major events in the region.

The nickname El Volcán comes from the steep, bowl-shaped stands that fill with yellow-clad Tigres UANL supporters on match days. The club's women's team, Tigres Femenil, also plays here and won back-to-back Liga MX Femenil titles at the stadium, beating Guadalajara 5-3 on aggregate.

The stadium is accessible by the green line 2 of the metro system, exiting at Universidad station and walking a short distance to the entrance. Bus stops around the campus offer additional transport options, especially useful on match days when visitor numbers peak.

The Wave became known worldwide at this stadium during the 1986 World Cup, not in 1984. The 1986 quarter-final between Mexico and West Germany, drawn 0-0 and decided 4-1 on penalties, was played here. The stadium also holds one of Latin America's largest screens, 12.48 m wide by 8.60 m high.
