Santos Laguna fires its stadium with a draw

Santos Laguna could only salvage a draw against Pumas UNAM in the departure from home. A pale goodbye on the lawn for one of the most complicated customs of Mexican soccer. Gone are many anecdotes, like the controversy over the extreme climate of Torreon and exhausting games on Sunday at 4; or lighting express a requirement to host matches of the Copa Libertadores. The Crown saw five finishes (three wins and two losses) and The quarterfinals, will be history Vicente Matias Vuoso as the last player to score in the former home of the Warriors.

From now on, Santos Laguna will house the Holy Land Model, one of the most technologically charged and impressive stadiums that exist in Latin America. The inauguration, scheduled for Nov. 11, will house a luxury program. On the field the team will play against the legendary Santos Santos of Brazil in mourning of homonyms, and King Pele will be responsible to give the opening kickoff . The inaugural musical show will be the responsibility of the cheerleader of the New Orleans Saints and the Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin. To add solemnity to the occasion, will become president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, who cut the ribbon.

What will become of the old stadium? Unfortunately, the building will be demolished to make the field (personally, I liked the dream of making it a kind of Highbury Squares]. So say goodbye a stadium that has seen everything from vibrant to dramatic end collisions by the decrease . And the policy applause for Santos by building a first class arena. Farewell, Corona!
