    great venue for music concerts
    great venue for atmosphere, sound acoustics, space, organization. A few things to note, at least in the winter (evening of March 2020): bring along a blanket...to sit on, as it is hard concrete outdoors or to wrap around you, as it was chilly. Even Billy Joel asked for a toque (hat), which I honestly wish I had, too. No washrooms (in the venue) except lineups of porta potties, so bring your own t.p. and be prepared for lining up. Easy transport as it is near the airport. In case you park, take a photo of the location as parking is HUGE + we got kinda lost. No complaints, tho.

    1st time and would go back!!!!
    Went here to see Rammstein. Sound was fabulous!!! We were in general A and so glad we did because the seats were much further back and it would have been harder to see. There was a VIP section in front of general A that we did not know about until we got there but that might be dependent on the band you see. The amount of people leaving after the show cannot be underestimated, but was a good experience to itself. We made arrangements before hand and paid our hotel's taxi to pick us up on a corner a few blocks away - BEST decision ever!!! My only regret with this plan is that we should have told him to pick us up 30 min later because there is a plethora of food stands right outside the venue under the freeway and they looked so good!!! I did bring toilet paper in my pocket and glad I did for the ladies restroom. The "official" merch stand is inside. But they did have a ton of unofficial merchandise outside the venue. They are a well oiled machine indeed! Getting in the venue was very easy and alot faster than I expected. Come really early if you want up front. We came about about an hour early and we're on the side/back of gen. A but still an amazing concert and experience! Would absolutely come back to see another concert!

    Phenomenal Stadium
    Amazing venue. Travelled from Canada for Motley Crue show. Despite the enormous amount of people is was really well organized easy entry. Easy exit. Shocked at how well behaved people were. Everyone relatively polite and helpful both fans and staff on site. There are tons of options for t shirts etc going into site. There are tons of options for food set up outside on the way out. The whole area is mayhem after the show. Best to have your ride home figured out before the event. You can expect to pay 3-4x the normal rate for a taxi or Uber if you can even get one. This was my first event at this stadium and I would go back anytime.

    Great concert venue
    What a great venue. Well organized well oiled machine and very well kept. We were here to see Swedish House Mafia and the space is awesome and the whole space and event was very well organized and the staff did an amazing job for the huge crowd they had to deal with = very impressed and way cleaner and better organized than the concert events back home in the US.

    Depeche Mode Concert Mexico City
    HUGE!!! Getting in... Getting out! Be prepared... Uber is a challenge.. Best Advice, which my Boyfriend was least found of.. is the Metro. Drops you off right in front & right after the concert gets you back on.. fastest way. But if your patient and would like to wait for Uber or taxi & sit in traffic.. that's an idea too.. but great Venu!! Feels as if you are at a convention.. with lots of vendors & for having thousands of people...The venue & the people are Fantastic!! No problems or issues..

    Foro Sol Auditorium
    The Convention Center and Auditorium Foro Sol is one of the coolest places. For some people perhaps it will sound strange but there are several reasons. First of all it is the place where I went to see repeatedly times to my favorite music group  and some other artists.   It is a very spacious and great venue, in there many people fit too, there are plenty of seats with a good distribution. In there can hold a show for 26,000 people, reason why I like it enough, I mean, in general there is nothing better than the music that brings people together and the environment is always perfect, almost confortable, harmonious and plenty of fun.   The floor is rocky and at the middle of the auditorium there is a grassy wide section in which people stand during the show. During the day you can enjoy it and it is quite sunny, and at a gloomy night you can see the lights of the forum and the sky in all its glory. The downside is that as it is an open place, so it can be chilly, fresh or warm depending on the weather and there is nothing you can do.   Despite the difference of events offered you can spend a good time either eating, watching or singing and in there hence, I have some of the best memories. It is a place that if you have the possibility to go, it is worthwhile to visit.

    Arctic Monkeys concert
    is an enclosure with an excellent acoustic located in the northern part of the city of mexico with accessibility to reach by car or public transport the bad thing about this place is that when there are musical events the traffic progresses slowly but in spite of that it is an excellent place for this type of events I highly recommend visiting this place much more when there are artists of great musical quality

    Foro Sol, Music Spot!
    There are always music concerts in this place. The space is good, the sound equipment is high quality and it has become a classic spot for music bands, that famous that even fans of different countries come here. The only issues to consider are: be prepared if it rains, prepare to walk if you didn´t bring the car, prepare to wait in the traffic jam if you did. There is food and alcohol in the surroundings so you can wait with less stress. It is a chaos after the events, so brace yourself.

    Saw Depeche Mode here!
    Friends and I converged on Mexico City for the March 13, 2018 Depeche Mode concert at el Foro Sol. Very orderly line up to get in - they have you "caged off" in stages based on where your tickets are. I was surprised to see TONS of bootleg sellers outside the gates. It was like running the gauntlet getting by them. Inside the gates, there were tons of options for eating and drinking. The only downside to this venue is after the show. Where do 65,000 people go in such a crowded area? Subway stop nearby, but you couldn't even get near it. We ended up in a taxi that cost us about $40, which is criminal seeing other cab/Uber rides were around $5. You pay for convenience I guess.
