Athletics
Estadio TEC CEM is a stadium located near Mexico City, Mexico, at the municipality of Atizapán de Zaragoza. This sporting facility was built in 1983 as a part of the original planning of the university facilities of the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey Campus Estado de Mexico (ITESM-CEM). It was the first stadium with an entirely artificial game surface. It is primarily used for American football and is the home field of the Borregos Salvajes - CEM. Estadio TEC CEM holds 14,000 people, the athletic track has a length of 400 metres and has six lanes. The stadium includes other facilities such as a jump track, two mini soccer fields and an electronic scoreboard.
The stadium has a large main stand that accommodates the local partiality, the radio and TV cabins and the local sound. When needed, the capacity can be expanded to three more stands in front of the main stand and an additional stand behind one of the end zones.
Due to the artificial game surface, the stadium is nicknamed El corral de plástico (literally, the plastic corral).
