Estadio Hidalgo

The Estadio Hidalgo is a football stadium named after Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. It is located in Pachuca in the Mexican state of Hidalgo, also named in honor of Miguel Hidalgo. This sport facility is one of Mexico's mid-sized soccer stadiums having capacity for 30,000 seats and was built in 1993 but recently was completely refurbished and modernized. It is located in the city of Pachuca, formerly a large mining site. This building is used mostly for soccer games and is the home of C.F. Pachuca. As the city of Pachuca is located at an elevation of 2426 meters (7960 ft), the weather can be remarkably cold for games. Also, the altitude provides a significant home field advantage.
