Alright, let’s talk about this “el volcan stadium”, or whatever they call it. I heard folks callin’ it somethin’ fancy, somethin’ like… “Estadio Universitario”. Sounds like a mouthful, eh? I ain’t got no schooling, so I just call it “that big place where them fellers kick the ball”.
What is this “el volcan stadium” anyway?
Well, from what I gather, it’s a big ol’ stadium down in Mexico, in a place called… San somethin’-somethin’. San Nic-o-las, I think. Sounds like a saint’s name, but I ain’t too sure ’bout that saintly business. Anyway, this stadium, they say it looks like a big pot, or a hole in the ground, like one of them volcanoes you see on TV. That’s why them folks call it “El Volcan,” which means “the volcano,” see? Makes sense, I guess, if you’re into that kinda thing.
This place, it’s where a bunch of fellas, the “Tigres,” they run around and kick a ball. And some gals too, they call ’em “Amazonas.” Tigers and Amazons, huh? Sounds like a wild bunch. I reckon they play that soccer game, the one where they try to get the ball into that net thingy. I watched it once on the neighbor’s TV. Lot of runnin’ around, if you ask me.
- Place: San Nic-o-las de los Garza, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. That’s a long name for a town, ain’t it?
- Teams: Tigres and Amazonas. Like I said, wild names.
- Looks like: A big pot, or a volcano, they say.
- What they do: Kick the ball, try to get it in the net. Simple enough, I suppose.
When did they build this “el volcan”?
Now, they tell me this stadium ain’t no new thing. Been around since… let me think… nineteen-sixty-somethin’. Yep, 1967, that’s it. Heck, I was already a grown woman back then, workin’ my fingers to the bone. So, this stadium’s seen a few things, I reckon. Probably hosted a whole lotta games, seen a whole lotta folks cheerin’ and hollerin’. Makes you think, don’t it?
How many folks can fit in that “volcano”?
They say it can hold a whole heap of people, somethin’ like forty-two thousand. That’s a lot of folks, more than I’ve ever seen in one place. Imagine all them people yellin’ at once! Must be louder than a rooster at sunrise, I tell ya. Forty-two thousand… that’s like packin’ the whole town into one spot.
Is this “el volcan” worth seein’?
Now, some folks, they ask if this “El Volcan” is worth goin’ to see. Well, I ain’t never been there myself. Heck, I ain’t never been much of anywhere. But from what I hear, it’s a big deal for them soccer fans. They say it’s got a… a “storied” history. Sounds fancy, but I guess it means it’s been around a long time and seen a lot of important games. Some folks even complain about the smells there, but hey, what do you expect with that many people packed together? Smells like life to me, just like a barn full of animals.
The important thing is, it’s a place where folks come together. They cheer for their team, they get excited, they have a good time. And that ain’t such a bad thing, is it? Even if it’s just kickin’ a ball around in a big ol’ pot. It’s somethin’ to do, somethin’ to get folks riled up and feelin’ alive. And in this world, sometimes that’s all you need, ain’t it?
So, there you have it. That’s what I know about this “el volcan stadium”. It’s a big, old place in Mexico, where them Tigres and Amazonas play their soccer games. It looks like a volcano, holds a whole lotta people, and it’s been around for a good long while. Not bad for a big pot in the ground, eh?
They even say they might be buildin’ a new stadium for them fellers. So if you’re thinkin’ of seein’ this “El Volcan,” you might wanna go soon, before it’s just another old building. You know how things go, they build somethin’ new, and the old place just sits there, gettin’ dusty. Like my old hen house, I reckon. But the memories, those last a long time, even when the buildin’s gone.
Anyway, that’s enough talkin’ for one day. I gotta get back to my chores. This old woman’s work ain’t never done.
