Estadio Corregidora de Querétaro is a stadium in Querétaro City, Mexico. Named for Mexican War of Independence heroine Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez ("La Corregidora"), it has a capacity of 33,162 and is located on the outskirts of the city of Querétaro, 211 kilometres (131 mi) north of Mexico City. This venue is used mostly for football games. It is the home of Querétaro FC and was one of the venues for the 1986 FIFA World Cup.
Built in 1985 in a collaboration between Mexican and European partners, it is considered one of the most notable stadiums in Mexico.[citation needed] Its design allows for the safe exit of all spectators even if full in less than seven minutes.
It is one of the largest football venues in Mexico, after Estadio Azteca, Estadio Olímpico Universitario, Estadio Azul (all in Mexico City), Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla, Estadio BBVA Bancomer in greater Monterrey, and Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara, Jalisco
It is also used for concerts, hosting internationally known pop stars like Rod Stewart, Miguel Bosé, and Shakira, among others.
