History and description

The new stadium replaced the aging Estadio Caliente which had served as the home for Tijuana since 1964. The new stadium was intended to serve as a new and improved venue for team and supporters alike. The Estadio Caliente stadium was built in 2007 as the home of newly founded Club Tijuana. The official opening took place on November 11th of that year. The old Estadio Caliente, which had been in use since 1964, was replaced with this newer and improved venue. This was intended to be a better and more comfortable place for both the players and their fans. The stadium, originally built in 1924, has seen gradual improvement over the years as the club has had success and fans have demanded more space to watch their games. Tijuana is now planning to expand the stadium even further, with a plan to add over 33,000 seats.

The stadium Estadio Caliente is the only one in Mexico's top league that has an artificial pitch.
