Mexico . Opened on August 18, 1954, with a capacity of 27,000 seats, it is located in the city ofToluca , Mexico, near Mexico DF. It is the home ofDeportivo Toluca Fútbol Club . Because of its location this stadium has hosted two World Cups (1970 and 1986). One former nuance about this stadium is that it did not have a lighting system which forced the local team, as a tradition to play with sunlight. However, this has changed with Toluca's entry into theCopa Sudamericana becauseCONMEBOL has a policy stating that all teams participating in the cup must have a lighting system available in their stadiums.ee also
