Stadium or Home

Estadio Agustín "Coruco" Díaz is a football stadium named in honour of a local player named Agustín "Coruco" Díaz. It has a capacity of 24,313 seats and is home to the team Cañeros de Zacatepec (Sugar cane growers).

This stadium is one of the oldest in Mexico and its origins can be traced back to 1948. It is located in Zacatepec, Morelos. The official opening of this stadium was in November 1954. This stadium is nicknamed the Selva Cañera ("Sugar Cane Jungle") because of the tropical weather that distinguish the municipality of Zacatepec. There was a famous player and later coach named Ignacio Trelles, who ordered the watering of the field one hour before the football match, leading to a very strong vaporization and an increase of the temperature to near 40 Celsius (more or less 100 Fahrenheit), which was very hard for the visitor squads. Another oddity of this building is that is it located in the center of the town of Zacatepec, beside the sugar cane refineries.
