Estadio GNP Seguros, formerly known as Foro Sol,[4] is a multipurpose stadium built in 1993 inside the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in eastern Mexico City.[1][5] It is located near the Mexico City International Airport and is operated by Grupo CIE.[6]
The venue was originally built for staging large music concerts. Initially called the Autódromo, it could accommodate up to 50,000 people.[5] From 2000 to 2014, it was used as a baseball stadium as well, hosting the Diablos Rojos del México and Tigres de México.[1][5] The stadium is the second-largest concert venue in Mexico City; the largest, Estadio Azteca, has a capacity of 87,523.[7]
