Estadio Universitario, Association football stadium in San Nicolás de los Garza, Mexico
Estadio Universitario is an association football stadium located on the UANL campus in Monterrey with seating for around 45,000 spectators arranged across multiple tiers. The concrete and steel structure provides clear views of the pitch from all sections.
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 stadium serves as home to Tigres UANL, where supporters wearing yellow and blue pack the stands during matches throughout the season. Fans create an energetic environment that defines the experience of being in this space on game days.
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.
A crowd movement known as the Wave originated here in 1984 during a match and later spread worldwide. Spectators spontaneously began standing in sequence, and other stadiums quickly copied the action, turning it into a global phenomenon.
