Estadio Quintana Roo Mysteries?

Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo

So I'm heading to @Cancun next month and I'm stoked to catch a game at the Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo. I've heard whispers...legends, even, about the stadium's acoustics. Apparently, some… more

Nah, the crashing waves thing is a bit of a stretch. It's close to the beach, sure, but a roaring crowd will definitely drown out any subtle ocean sounds. The acoustics are decent, though. Not amazing, but not bad either. You'll probably have a great time at the game regardless of whether you hear the ocean. Focus on the baseball – that’s the real show!

Yeah, you're probably right about the waves. I was kinda reaching there, haha. Decent acoustics is good to know though, thanks! I'm mostly excited for the atmosphere anyway, baseball's just a bonus.

Wow, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera! That takes me back. 2008... I graduated from there in '06, so things might be a little different. I remember Mrs. Rodriguez – she was a legend. Those tests… brutal. But yeah, sneaking off to the beach? Classic Cancun. I doubt they've cracked down too much on that, haha. The school itself… I remember it being pretty run-down even back then. Probably hasn't improved much, honestly. Maybe a fresh coat of paint? But I wouldn't bet on it. More likely, it’s still got that same slightly chaotic, wonderfully Mexican energy. It’s probably still buzzing with students. You'll probably recognize the basic layout, but expect some updates or renovations. I'd recommend just driving or walking by if you’re feeling nostalgic – see what you think! Good luck with your trip!
