Last night, we went to a Club America vs. San Luis futbol game at Estadio Azteca. The stadium is huge and is apparently the only stadium to have hosted two World Cup finals (1970 and 1986). The stadium often hosts large events/concerts.
There was a ton of traffic to get to and from the stadium. So, we were glad that the stadium was no where near full, as then traffic would have been AWFUL! We were also very thankful that Mike's co-workers went out of their way to take us to and from the game. They had written out directions for us. The directions in Mexico mostly contain landmarks - not street names. So, we were quite confident we would have gotten lost and never made it to the stadium or the specified parking lot. Thank you Tono and Carlos for driving us!
Annabelle talked constantly the whole way to the game. "I'm going to a soccer game" was repeated dozens of times! And, she became obsessed with Tono, talking to him or asking where he was the entire night!
Anyways, Mike's co-worker Carlos had access to a box (palco, as they call them in Mexico). The palco was SUPER nice to have since Annabelle went to the game! She was able to walk around and remain contained!
For the first twenty minutes, Annabelle was absolutely mesmerized by the game and her surroundings. She really enjoyed watching the crowd, the t.v. and trying to follow the ball on the field! After about twenty minutes, she became obsessed with Cynthia's phone case, snacking and climbing the stairs! I think Annabelle really enjoyed her Club America experience, as did Mike and I! We had a lot of fun watching the game, Annabelle and hanging out with Carlos, Tono, Sergio, Cynthia and Alejandro!
