Guadalajara

The home of tequila, mariachi, and Chivas. Guadalajara is laid-back compared to the capital, with a walkable historic center and a passionate local club culture.

The venue

Stadium

Estadio Akron

Capacity · 48,000Location · Zapopan, northwest metro area

Home of Chivas, set against the hills with a striking floating-cloud roof.

Getting there

Transport

  • Match shuttle

    Dedicated event buses run from key transit hubs on match days — the stadium is far from the center.

  • Mi Macro Periférico

    The BRT line connects to the Zapopan side; combine with a short rideshare for the last stretch.

  • Rideshare

    Most reliable door-to-door option; expect surge pricing right after the final whistle.

Where fans gather

Fan zones
