Estadio Universitario, universally known by its formidable nickname “El Volcán” (The Volcano), is the pulsating heart of one of Mexico’s most passionate football communities. Located in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, this iconic venue has been the fortress of Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (Tigres UANL) since its inauguration on May 30, 1967.
Address: Calle del Doctor Pedro de Alba, San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, Mexico.
Country: United Mexican States (Mexico)
Opened: May 30, 1967
Seating Capacity: Approximately 41,000
Primary Use: Football (Soccer)
Main Tenant: Tigres UANL football club
Famous Nickname: “El Volcán” (The Volcano), named for its intimidating and energetic matchday atmosphere.
Estadio Universitario earned a permanent place in football history as a key host venue for the 1986 FIFA World Cup. It staged five significant matches that contributed to the tournament’s narrative.
The stadium was the site for all three of Poland’s Group F matches. Its World Cup legacy was further cemented by hosting two critical knockout-stage games. It was here that England defeated Paraguay in the Quarter-finals. More notably, the stadium witnessed a classic South American showdown in the Round of 16, where Diego Maradona’s Argentina triumphed over Uruguay with a 1-0 victory, taking a crucial step on their path to ultimately winning the tournament.
The identity of “El Volcán” is inextricably linked to its primary tenant, Tigres UANL, one of Mexico’s most successful and supported clubs.
A Bastion of Champions: The stadium has been the stage for the club’s most glorious achievements. It witnessed Tigres win their first-ever Mexican Primera División championship in 1978. Decades later, it was the home base from which the club launched its modern era of dominance, culminating in winning its first CONCACAF Champions League title in 2020.
A Global Launchpad: That 2020 continental victory qualified Tigres for the FIFA Club World Cup. From their home in Estadio Universitario, they embarked on a historic run, becoming the first Mexican club to ever reach the final, where they finished as runners-up to Bayern Munich.
A Cultural Phenomenon: Reflecting its massive popularity, Tigres UANL was the first sports club from the state of Nuevo León to surpass 1 million followers on a major social media platform. The fervent support of this fanbase is what truly fuels the stadium’s “Volcano” nickname, creating one of the most electrifying environments in North American football.
The stadium stands as a perfect blend of historic prestige and contemporary passion, having successfully evolved while preserving the intense atmosphere that defines it.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
