Detail InformationEdit

Arena MéXico is an indoor arena in Mexico City, Mexico located in the Colonia Doctores neighboorhood in the Cuauhtémoc borough. The arena is primarily used for professional wrestling, or Lucha libre, shows promoted by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The building is called the “cathedral of lucha libre”. Arena México has a seating capacity of 16,500 when configured for professional wrestling or boxing events. The current building was completed in 1956, build by Salvador Lutteroth, owner of CMLL at the time and is the largest arena build specifically for wrestling. The building was used as the venue for the boxing competition at the 1968 Summer Olympics, and throughout the last half of the 20th century hosted several large boxing events.
The location on calle Doctor Lavista #203, Col. Doctores on the intersection of Dr.Rafael Lucio, Dr. Carmona and Valle, was originally an all-purpose arena called Arena Modelo. Arena Modelo was built in the 1910s or 1920s for boxing events. By the early 1930s the arena was abandoned until professional wrestling promoter Salvador Lutteroth began promoting wrestling, or Lucha libre events in Arena Modelo on September 21, 1933. For the next ten years it served as the main venue for Lutteroth’s promotion Empressa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL) until Lutteroth commissioned the construction of “Arena Coliseo” in Mexico City. After Arena Coliseo opened in 1943, Arena Model served as the location for EMLL’s wrestling school. By 1953 even Arena Coliseo was too small for the crowds EMLL’s shows were attracting, Lutteroth promised to “build the largest wrestling arena in the World” on the site of Arena Modelo and construction started not long after.
