The Estadio Victoria is a football stadium in Aguascalientes , State of Aguascalientes , Mexico , which has been the home ground of the Necaxa football club since July 2003. Occasionally it is also used for concert events, such as the performance of the Colombian singer Shakira on May 11, 2007. The stadium is located in an area dominated by sports facilities in the Colonia Héroes and opposite the Alberto Romo Chavez baseball stadium .
history
After the Club Necaxa decided in 2001 to look for a new location in the Mexican capital due to the lack of audience participation and Aguascalientes was chosen, construction of the stadium began in the location around 400 kilometers northwest of Mexico City . The brewery group Grupo Modelo secured the naming rights for 25 years and gave the stadium the name of the oldest still existing beer brand in Mexico .
In the six seasons between 2003/04 and 2008/09 the stadium was the home of the Primera División and since the relegation of Necaxa in spring 2009 it has been the home of the second-rate Liga de Ascenso .
The stadium was opened on July 26, 2003 with a friendly game between Necaxa and Mexico's most popular club Chivas Guadalajara , which ended 0-1 from the home club's point of view. The golden goal for the guests was scored by Jorge Barrera, who also went down in the annals as the first shooter for the new stadium.
In the same year, the Mexican national team completed an international match against the Dominican Republic , which was won 8-0.
