How is this only four stars! ? !
Have you ever heard that prospective is everything? Sometimes, when I'm in Mexico, I forget how effective marketing from America can be.
I'll admit comparing this theater if other chain theaters in the United States isn't apples-to-apples, but stay tuned for my Cinemex review.
When it comes to concepts, this one isn't all that edgy, it's exactly what movie theaters used to be in the U.S.; it has an arcade; it's located in a mall, it offers matinee pricing during the week 😯; and added a full bar to boot. The latter is probably the only thing that might be considered a concept in the U.S.
Most of the movie theaters in America have given up on providing generalized fun and focus on premium services. Over-priced food and delivery services rule the day (because everyone tried to rip off Alamo), with ticket prices for four equalling a small 4K UHD TV. Mierda!
Anyway, sometimes Mexico doesn't have it as bad as they think. 4 stars.

I've been to a lot of stadiums in my life, and I find they can generally be separated into two categories, luxury and authenticity. What do I mean by this?
Well, depending on the popularity of the teams playing at stadiums, experiences are typically organized in one of two ways. The first is all out luxury, tons of box suites, Wi-Fi, etc. The second is fan based, making it more about the teams than the location. This is definitely the latter.
Being from San Jose I understand the contrast in styles. For example, watching the Sharks play hockey is a no extras, fan experience. On the other hand, watching the 49ers play is like being reminded there are a whole lot of rich people in the world. It's expensive and limiting without money.
I tend to prefer the fan experience, those stadiums are filled even in losing seasons, and I can't say the same for big market teams in the United States.
With that said, the stadium is pretty comfortable considering it's almost all concrete. Because I was at the LigaMX final, I didn't get up and do too much exploring because it was a mad house.
I'm not sure if they have concession stands, but there are a ton of vendors working the aisle, so it didn't matter in the end.
The fans are great, and the atmosphere is electric (it was also a crosstown rivalry). There were flags, chants, dancing, and lots of cursing. 🤷🏿♂️
The cursing wasn't the bad part. For some reason I had to remove my belt to enter the arena. I don't know what happened to cause this rule, but you should be aware before visiting. The good news is your chances of being choked out by a rabid fan after a goal is significantly diminished.
Overall, it's definitely worth a trip to see a game. I look forward to watching some matches at Stadium Azteca as well. We'll see how it compares.

Another standalone review for the Basilica, but this time for the Pocito Chapel. This is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It reminds you of photos you see of churches in Europe, the kind you make trips just to see.
A great monument, in a great location. Tourists should add this to their list of places and people to know about in Mexican culture.
