Aerial view of Bull Ring and Estadio Azul, Ciudad de Los Deportes, Mexico City, Mexico (circa February 1957).
The Bull Ring has the largest capacity of any bullfighting arena in the world, and was constructed in just 96 days. It is located next to the Estadio Azul, which was constructed at the same time, although took longer. They are located within Mexico City’s ‘Sports City’.
The structures of the both arenas are constructed half below ground and half above ground, meaning spectators only need to ascend or descend half the necessary height.
