At the beginning of 2024, the remodeling of what used to be the Foro Sol began and rumors started that it would also change its name to give it a 100% new image.
Now, through a press release, OCESA announced the new official name of the venue that has hosted historic shows in the CDMX, and will now be called: GNP Seguros Stadium.
The venue’s social networks have been set up and a new post confirming the news has also been shared, with the caption:
