Overview
- Mexico’s friendly against Portugal on March 28 is scheduled as the stadium’s reinauguration event.
- Workers have begun installing ETFE architectural membranes on the roof, and the current orange appearance is a temporary installation-phase look.
- New drone footage shows the hybrid pitch laid with upgraded drainage and irrigation, plus reconstructed lower east premium seating.
- Emilio Azcárraga confirmed the venue will not be 100% complete for the tournament, citing pending items such as parking and illuminated columns and a phased plan to finish work.
- Recent images indicate the roof intervention focuses on lateral sections and differs from earlier renders, as social media critiques continue and the venue carries Banorte naming after private financing.
