Through his social networks, the president of Nuevo León shared a video explaining the operation of the mechanism that will protect the lawn from New University Stadium.

Could the new Tigres stadium host an NFL game?

One of the ideas of Governor of Nuevo Leon, Samuel Garcia, about the Tigres stadium, is that it has the capacity to host one or two matches of NFL per year, a condition that currently only meets in Mexico the Aztec stadium.

The requirements that the NFL asks for stadiums have prevented venues like the BBVA or the Akron can host league games, as they need at least 60 thousand seats and locker rooms big enough to accommodate teams.

“If a stadium were built later in the future, some other stadium like the one proposed for Tigres in Monterrey, we would gladly see and if possible, we would be interested in attending,” said Arturo Olivé, director of the NFL in Mexico in an interview in 2016.

It is projected that the new feline club stadium may have the capacity to receive 65 thousand fans and would at least have the opportunity to be considered as a possible venue.
