Estadio Olímpico Ignacio Zaragoza is an Olympic stadium where professional football and baseball have been played. It is located in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico (110 kilometres east of Mexico City).

Notable events

In 1981, on October 17 and 18, British rock band Queen played for the Mexican audience. The first of two concerts was the most significant, because people broke a gate of the stadium, and there were many excesses because people had not seen an event like this before. People threw many objects to stage: shoes, batteries, food, etc. And a pantyhose filled with dust was thrown to the guitar player Brian May. At the end, Freddie Mercury said to the Mexican audience: "Thank you for the shoes..."
