The route: Line 1 to Exposición
Estadio BBVA sits in Guadalupe, on the eastern edge of the metro area. The official metro gateway is Exposición, the last station on Line 1 (the Yellow Line), with a signed pedestrian path leading the rest of the way to the gates. If you are coming from the Macroplaza or downtown, start on Line 2 (Green) and transfer to Line 1 around Cuauhtémoc or General I. Zaragoza, then ride east. Budget about 20–30 minutes of train time plus the walk. On match day you can simply follow the crowd from Exposición.

Keep the metro apps working
Live arrival times, the Me Muevo top-up app, and your match ticket QR all need a connection — and station Wi-Fi is unreliable when 50,000 fans converge. Mexican carrier roaming runs roughly US$10–15 a day, while a travel North America eSIMon the Telcel network — the widest-coverage carrier in Nuevo León — costs far less and is active before you land. Compare:
| Option | Cost | Setup time | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| eSIM | Low (US$3–25) | ~5 min (pre-install on Wi-Fi) | Excellent (local carrier) |
| Carrier roaming | High ($10–15/day) | Instant (already enabled) | Medium (partner-dependent) |
| Pocket Wi-Fi | Medium | Airport pickup / rental | Good (extra device to charge) |
