Arena México is one of the most famous wrestling arenas in the world. Located in Mexico City, it's the heart of the CMLL promotion. Wrestling cards are held every Friday, and boxing events are also held in the arena.
The original Arena Mexico opened on September 21st, 1933, which is taken as the start date for the EMLL promotion. That building was located next to what would become this Arena Mexico, the more famous of the two.
The current Arena Mexico building was opened on April 27, 1956. EMLL built this arena after the overflow crowd for the Black Shadow & El Santo mask match in Arena Coliseo.
Arena Mexico currently holds 16,800 fans for lucha libre shows. Originally, the building held 17,678 people.
The Rayo de Jalisco Jr. & Cien Caras mask match is believed to have been seen by an overflow standing room crowd of over 20,000 fans, causing structural damage to the building. The damage caused areas of seats to be closed for many years. CMLL has taken out more seats as their entrance set has become more elaborate.
The arena celebrated its 56th anniversary on April 27, 2012. The following year, for the promotion's 80th Anniversary, CMLL hired artist Miguel Valverde to paint an expansive mural covering CMLL's long history in the lobby area.[1] Lined along the bottom are various masks that have been lost on CMLL Mexico City shows throughout the years.[2]
