Rideshare pickup

Uber and DiDi operate in Guadalajara. The stadium is in Zapopan with limited match-day access — ask to be dropped a block or two before the entrance, and walk 10–15 minutes out afterward. The official “Ride al Estadio” shuttle (500 MXN) runs from 10 city pickup points; buy in advance via Boleto Móvil.

Public transit

The Mi Macro Periférico BRT runs to Estadio Chivas station, connected to the gates by the dedicated Andador Chivas pedestrian walkway (<10-min walk). Fares are ~11–14 MXN, with extended service to 1 AM on match nights. A new airport BRT line (Mi Macro Aeropuerto) links GDL to the city.

Traffic to expect

Estadio Akron sits off Periférico Manuel Gómez Morín on Zapopan’s western edge — the Periférico is the bottleneck, backing up 2–3 hours before kickoff and over an hour afterward. The adjacent Andares mall adds its own traffic.

  • Stay in Zapopan (Andares / Puerta de Hierro) to be 10–15 minutes from Akron.
