This large stadium can fit over 60,000 people and was used in the 1982 FIFA world cup. It is located right along a river and a major highway goes right underneath it. It's location to downtown makes this an ideal place to host soccer games from time to time. Very easy to get to, although I would not recommend coming here when there is a game as things can get out of hand fairly quickly.
