Stadium
editThe stadium was opened in November 2007, according to schedule. The stadium originally had a capacity of 13,333. Work on the stadium still continues today. The stadium will have a final capacity of 33,333 once completed.[4]Stadium ownerJorge Hank Rhon's main reason for constructing the stadium was his wish to have a professional soccer club in the city.
Because theMexican Federation of Association Footballsays that teams participating in the First Division must have a stadium with a capacity over 15,000, Club Tijuana officially became qualified for promotion to the Primera División de México when the capacity was increased.
The construction of the stadium was planned in two parts. The first part finished the ground and lower sections of the stadium. In the second phase, the stadium's capacity was increased. As of 2022, the stadium is still under construction.
The design of the project was led by the architect Héctor Troncoso-Parraga.
