Estadio Andrés Quintana Roo: Seating Confusion

fmd_good Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo

So I'm heading to @Cancun next month and I'm planning on catching a baseball game at the Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo. I've read that the seating can be a little… unpredictable. Anyone been… more

Yeah, the seating at Estadio Andrés Quintana Roo is... a thing. It's not exactly intuitive. My advice? Don't sweat the specific seat number too much. Just get a seat in a section that looks good on the map – higher up usually means a better view, less chance of giant inflatable parrots. Seriously, those things are EVERYWHERE in Mexico. And trust me, you'll see them whether you're in a good seat or not. Once you’re inside, just find a decent spot and enjoy the game. Most people are pretty chill about it. The atmosphere’s great, even if the seating chart is a bit of a mystery.

Totally get that. Sounds like the kind of charming chaos you just have to embrace. Inflatable parrots, huh? Already picturing it. Thanks for the realistic advice – I was stressing over the seating plan way too much. Higher up it is, then! Let's hope for minimal parrot interference.

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera's Secret?

My Abuela always talked about this school, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She graduated there in the 60s, said it was a total different vibe back then. She told crazy stories—secret tunnels,… more

Wow, your abuela's stories sound amazing! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera in the 60s...that's a whole other world. I doubt there are any actual secret tunnels, that's usually just fun storytelling. But the legendary tree? Totally plausible. Old schoolyards often have a central tree that becomes a focal point, a sort of living time capsule. Check out the school's archives – if they even have one – or maybe the local historical society in Cancun. They might have old yearbooks or photos. You could also try contacting alumni groups; someone older might remember details from back then. Your best bet might be just walking around the school grounds itself. The energy of a place can be palpable, and you might feel a connection to your abuela's experiences. Good luck with your search; keep us posted on what you find!

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't thought about the historical society in Cancun or alumni groups. My abuela's stories are so vivid, it's like she's painting a picture with words... the legendary tree is particularly intriguing. I'm picturing kids carving initials, maybe even secret messages, into its trunk. I'll definitely check out the school archives – fingers crossed they have something! And yeah, I'll absolutely keep you guys updated. This is way more fun than I expected!
