Is Foro Sol the stadium that the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez course runs through?

[radoner]

Yes it is, in fact Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez crosses between the Foro Sol when car races are held

[gugasounds]

Not always, that is an alternate course designed for special raceas like NASCAR, or for the champ car series.

Wow, that was very rude, but you're from Spain right?

[hngcm]

i thought Cruz Azul was putting a roof over their stadium instead of a new one?

And I didn't know about the new stadiums in Ciudad Juarez/Tijuana!

CJ's is impressive, although i wish it would be a bit bigger for a possible WC bid.

Tijuana's looks ugly though...especially with those palcos.

What a surprise a club which was founded just 3 years ago in Mexico will have this brand new 30K estadio with a retractable roof! Maybe the owner is a Roman Abramovich of Mexico?

But to be frank, I don't think this will happen soon because the club is not old euough to have a state of the art stadium like this. Is there anyone who has a rough idea when the constrcution will start?

I think Estadio Juarez looks like an aircraft hangar from the outside

The new Chivas stadium will be the best in Mexico, and among the best in the World.

Yes I agree, it looks bad on the outside but if you consider that that team is not even in the first division then is not so bad.

Thanks for summing up the projects in Mexico larsul.
I like Estadio Caliente and Estadio Nuevo Azul looks quite interesting too although it's quite difficult to judge by the pic.

Yes, it's extraordinary for a team of that size.

From other sources I found on internet, the estimated cost for Indios de Ciudad Juarez is 800M peso - a little short of 80M USD. Considering it has a retractable roof, I think it's really cheap...

It is not bad at all.. the owners are contructors.. maybe that is why..
