The
Plaza México, situated in
Mexico City, is the world's largest
bullring. This 41,262-seat facility is usually dedicated to
bullfighting, but many
boxing fights have been held there as well, including
Julio César Chávez's third bout with
Frankie Randall. The Plaza México replaced the ancient bullbag Toreo de la Condesa in the
Condesa neighborhood that was overwhelmed by the rapid development of the Mexican population. It opened on 5 February 1946 and annually since then, that date marks the date of the Corrida de Aniversario. This building was built beside the
football stadium Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes (now
Estadio Azul).
