Stadium Information

Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba is a mid-sized football stadium in Zacatecas City and the traditional home of Mineros de Zacatecas. Opened in 1986, the stadium was built to give the state capital a modern venue capable of hosting professional football and regional sporting events.

Its compact bowl and relatively steep seating provide clear sightlines and keep supporters close to the pitch. With a capacity of just over twenty thousand, the stadium uses a natural grass surface and sits at high altitude, which can influence playing conditions. Matchdays at Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba are defined by local identity and community support. Mineros fixtures draw passionate regional crowds, particularly for promotion battles and high-profile league matches.

While the stadium lacks the scale of Mexico’s largest venues, the enclosed layout allows noise to build effectively when the stands are full. Facilities are functional and focused on football rather than entertainment. The stadium is located on the outskirts of Zacatecas City and is primarily accessed by road, with parking available around the complex. Public transport routes also serve the area on matchdays.

Accessibility features include step-free access points, designated seating areas and assistance services. Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba remains a key sporting landmark in Zacatecas and an important hub for professional football in the region.
