History
Since 1945, CF Monterrey has quickly established themselves as a formidable presence in Mexican football. Winning multiple championship titles and drawing in passionate supporters throughout their season are hallmarks of success for any club, while also maintaining an award-winning youth academy and being active members in their community.
In 2015, Tigres UANL began the season with high hopes. Not only were they playing their inaugural home match at their brand new stadium – Estadio BBVA Bancomer – they also met archrival Tigres UANL for an official Clasico Regio game for the first time!
But their joy was short-lived as they were quickly demoted after finishing last in their league. Nonetheless, in 2014 they earned promotion back into the top division and went on an incredible run in Copa MX that reached its final against Cruz Azul (although unfortunately losing). Even with this setback however, they managed to secure playoff spots both Clausura and Apertura tournaments.
Stadiums
Monterrey, commonly referred to as The Rayados (The Striped Ones), is one of Mexico’s most successful clubs of recent times, winning four league titles, two domestic cups and three CONCACAF Champions League tournaments in just 13 seasons.
Estadio Tecnologico in Monterrey serves as home stadium and arena, hosting outdoor concerts such as U2’s concert which attracted 42,000+ attendees in 2006.
Populous, the firm that designed the stadium, describes it as one of Latin America’s “most hospitality-driven stadiums.” Situated in Guadalupe and bordering a local zoo, it features 324 sky boxes along with 4,500 club seats as well as luxury food/beverage service.
The stadium offers an attractive setting to watch games, but has also generated considerable debate. Built at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars and sparking protests from environmental interest groups regarding its effects, its construction caused considerable debate and was met with opposition.
Ticket Prices
Tickets prices depend on the size and seating configuration of a stadium, with further away seats being less costly. Season tickets provide fans with exclusive access to home matches for Monterrey FC; depending on seat location and age category this may provide significant savings over purchasing individual match tickets individually.
