Guadalajara
You’ll have to trek out to Zapopan if you want to see the beloved ‘Chivas’ (ie Guadalajara’s fútbol team) juggle footballs and – hopefully – make their opponent’s goal net ripple. The deluxe 49,850-capacity Estadio Omnilife, which opened in 2010 and is Mexico's fourth largest stadium, is home to Guadalajara’s most revered soccer team.
To get to the stadium take bus 400 run by Sistecozone from Parque Revolución.
