A Little History

This spectacular arena was inaugurated on february 20, 1994 by the gobernor of Tamaulipas, Lic. Manuel Cavazos Lerma. The building have the capacity to accommodate 8,000 people, but can be easily adjusted for an audience of up to 9,500 people. Almost every weekend, the arena hosts great spectacles like Bullfights, Music Concerts, Boxing, Wrestling and other shows.

During our brief yet successful life, great figures have showed up at the arena to honor memorable bullfighting seasons. First class matadores like
  • ELOY CAVAZOS
  • MIGUEL ESPINOZA "ARMILLITA"
  • FERMIN ESPINOZA "ARMILLITA CHICO"
  • DAVID SILVETI
  • ALEJANDRO SILVETI
  • JORGE DE JESUS "EL GLISON"
  • EULALIO LOPEZ "EL ZOTOLUCO"
  • ALBERTO GALINDO "EL GENO"
  • ARTURO MANZUR

The art of the rejoneo was excelled by masters of this brave art, the famous rejoneadores RODRIGO SANTOS and GERARDO TRUEBA.

Also, great novilleros had been acclaimed by our public. The list is impressive, too:
  • EL NEGRO MONTAÑO
  • MANUEL MARTINEZ
  • MARCIAL HERCE
  • JOSE MARIA LUEVANO
  • MIGUEL LA HOZ
  • ENRIQUE ESPINOZA "EL CUATE"
  • JOSE TOMAS, from Spain
  • CRISTINA SANCHEZ, from Spain

And the list of great music performers that had crowded the arena couldn't be better. We had, live in concert, the very best:

  • MONICA NARANJO
  • CAIFANES
  • RAMON AYALA

and many more. To complete the picture, last year we honored the controversial JAIME MAUSSANT presenting his conference "50 YEARS OF EVIDENCE ON THE U.F.O. PHENOMENON".

Art for your information

The passion for this sport comes from ancient centuries, as demonstrated by this antique paint: a group of old monks take a break from their prayers and play the Bullfight with the little boy.
