Nice arena but the sound wasn’t that good on the last section of seats. It sounds like there’s a lot of echo

The boys trip made it out of the groupchat to CDMX, with the trip centered around UFC Mexico here at Arena CDMX. 3 out of 4 of us LOVE the UFC, and the other is just the homie who was down for the plot. You gotta love homies like that who are just always down for anything and have a great attitude. We got there and realized we were no longer in Roma Norte, and this is what I imagine real Mexico City is like. No english at the door, no baddies walking around with artsy tattoos, just real raw authenticity. I loved it. We had great seats in the first row of the 400 section, so we could rest our feet on the little ledge in front of us and had a great view of the Octagon. The first fight we saw was UFC newcomer Ateba Gautier absolutely destroying a can with a knee straight down the middle. The Mexican crowd was AMAZING. There was this guy a few rows behind us, supporting every single Mexican fighter like it was his blood brother. One fighter's nickname was “Lazy Boy,” and the guy was endlessly shouting “ARRANCARLE LA CABEZA LAAAAZZZYYYY,” as lazy was getting the brakes beat off him. It was sad, yet inspiring. We had him take a picture of us as a group for the memories, and they were arguably the worst photos I’ve ever seen. I honestly don’t even know how he did it. See attached. The main event was Brandon Moreno vs Steve Erceg, and the crowd was going INSANE. It was so hype in here I can’t even put that energy into words. Moreno went out and put on a masterclass… Although that fight was a little bit of a snoozefest, the card as a whole was amazing. Really grateful for these kinds of memories with my friends. Our group chat joke is now “ARRANCARLE LA CABEZA,” which roughly translates to “RIP HIS HEAD OFF.” IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Nice and modern arena. Drink and food options although a little expensive but that’s to be expected at this kind of places. Entrance to concert was a bit hectic but overrall the staff is helpful and the place feels safe. The big screens help a lot.

A very big place for big event in a big city. With several floors upstairs and underground (Zotano 1-2), it can receive several thousands of people. But one thing, due to advertising reasons, it is prohibited to carry stuff with some brands logo inside. Be aware of the instructions before getting in touch with this place.

Fantastic venue, big and quite new with great facilities. Been there several times watching G League basketball of the Capitanes and a concert from one of the suites. When in the upper suites the sound was a bit weak and far from the stage. Unfortunately the traffic to get there is terrible, I suggest to plan to get there well in advance.

Very modern, very comfortable sitting, spacious and equipped with good sound system, a bit out from other spots of interest, but one of the best arenas for events I have had the opportunity to visit

Mid-size but very cool place for massive events. Sounds great and there is enough room for the people in the crowd. Parking is free there, you gotta give it a try!

Came here to watch UFC. Great venue and sound. It was hard to find actual pictures of the view from my section. I was in section 301 seat 15. They were better than expected.

Asistir a la Arena México fue una experiencia increíble, llena de emoción y buena compañía. La energía del lugar y el talento de los artistas hicieron que la noche fuera inolvidable. Eso sí, recomiendo llegar con al menos una hora de anticipación, ya que la entrada puede volverse caótica en eventos de alta demanda. El estacionamiento es gratuito, pero se llena rápido, así que es mejor planear con tiempo. En cuanto a la comida y bebidas, la calidad es excelente, aunque, como en la mayoría de los eventos, los precios son elevados. Vale la pena disfrutar sin prisas y aprovechar hasta el último momento del espectáculo. Al salir, el tráfico en el estacionamiento puede ser complicado. Mi consejo: tómense su tiempo, terminen sus bebidas y dejen que el lugar se despeje un poco antes de intentar salir. Así evitarán quedar atrapados en el congestionamiento y podrán cerrar la noche de manera más relajada. Definitivamente, la Arena México es un gran lugar para disfrutar de un buen espectáculo, siempre y cuando vayas preparado. ¡Vale la pena la experiencia!
