Estadio Olímpico's Sound?

fmd_good Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo

I went to a Diablos Rojos game at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo last month. The atmosphere was electric, seriously. But I noticed something – the sound. It seemed… muffled? Like, the roar of… more

Yeah, I've been to a few games at the Andrés Quintana Roo, and I totally get what you mean. It's a weird one. The energy is undeniable, but the sound… it's like it gets lost somewhere. Maybe it's the design – all those concrete and open spaces? I've heard some people say it's the wind, too; Cancun can get pretty breezy. Maybe a combination of things, I’m not an acoustics expert. But yeah, it's definitely not just you.

Crazy, right? I had the same feeling at the Estadio Olímpico. It's massive, the atmosphere is electric, but the sound… it just doesn’t quite boom like you’d expect. I wondered if it was the sheer size of the place, maybe the sound just dissipates before it really hits you. Cancun's wind is a good point, though – never thought of that. Maybe it's a perfect storm of factors. Makes you appreciate smaller, more intimate stadiums even more, I guess.

Secundaria Juan de la Barrera's Secret?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

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!
