Where to stay for a match or concert at Estadio Akron
Apartments in Zapopan for a Chivas match or a concert at Estadio Akron: pool, parking, and an honest look at how you actually get to the stadium.
The home of Chivas
Estadio Akron is the home ground of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, better known as Chivas. It sits in Zapopan, on the western edge of the metro area, and it seats almost 50,000 peoplesource. Besides league matches it hosts concerts and other big events, and it was one of the host stadiums of the 2026 World Cup. It is a modern stadium in a newer part of the city, far from the historic center and the traditional neighborhoods where most hotels are.
It opened in July 2010 with a friendly between Chivas and Manchester United, and a year later it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the Pan American Games. One useful detail for match day: the pedestrian entrance is a large covered atrium with food and drinks, a movie theater, a kids' area, the official Chivas store and the club museum. If you get there early, it is a much better place to wait than the line outside.
The stadium comes up again and again in our messages: in recent months, more than thirty people wrote to us on WhatsApp about staying for a match or a concert there. The logistics question we hear most is about parking, and it makes sense. Getting to the stadium is easy; getting out after the final whistle is the hard part.
What the map doesn't tell you
On the map, Anuva looks very close to the stadium. But the Periférico ring road runs between them, and the drive has to loop around to a crossing, so the real trip is longer than the straight line suggests. The table below uses the driving route, not the straight line, with normal traffic already counted. On match days, add extra time: the streets around the stadium fill up well before kickoff.
| Building | How you get there | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Anuva | 15–25 min by car | 8.9 km |
| Livify | 15–25 min by car | 9.3 km |
| Casa Ley | 15–30 min by car | 12 km |
Walking, along the streets. By car, from no traffic to normal traffic (OpenStreetMap routes). Traffic can be heavier on event days.
For the trip back, the best strategy is not to leave with the crowd. Let the flow die down and request your ride from a spot a little away from the gates; the fare will thank you.
Apartments for match weekend
In Anuva, La Favorita has a desk and its own washer and dryer, and El Piso Diez sits on a high floor, also with a desk and a washer and dryer. In Livify, El Clásico has views over the city, and El Nido is a loft for a small group. What they all share is what you appreciate most after a match: a pool, a gym, a parking spot and security in the building.

Match weekends fill up first, so if your team is playing at home or a big concert is coming, book as soon as you have your tickets. If you are traveling with a group of friends, a two-bedroom apartment usually works out better than several hotel rooms, and you can watch the pre-game show together before heading out.
If you stay a few more days
There is more to Zapopan than the stadium. Andares, with its restaurants and nightlife, is on this same side of the city; see our page on apartments near Andares.
