Arena Coliseo is CMLL's second arena in Mexico City: an older, smaller hall in the Centro Histórico, with lucha libre on Thursday at 7pm and Saturday at 7:30pm.
| Address | República de Perú 77, Centro Histórico, 06010 Ciudad de México |
|---|---|
| Shows | Thursday 7pm, Saturday 7:30pm |
| Seats | 6,863 |
| Opened | 2 April 1943 |
| Nearest Metro | Allende (Line 2), about 7 minutes' walk |
Why go to Arena Coliseo?
Because it is on a night when Arena México is dark. If your trip lands on a Thursday or Saturday, the Coliseo is your lucha libre. It is less than half the size of Arena México, so even cheaper seats are close to the ring, and it has been staging wrestling since 1943.
If you only have one night and it can be a Friday, go to Arena México for Viernes Espectacular. If your one night is a Saturday, the Coliseo is a great consolation, and easy to pair with an evening in the Centro.
