Estadio Nacional (the national stadium) has such a rich and interesting history. I would highly recommend just reading up about all of the events and things that have taken place here.
It is obviously a stadium so there is a track, tennis courts, etc. Everything you would expect for physical activity. I got to go to the stadium for a different nocturnal activity. Estadio Nacional also host outdoors concerts and it is where I got to see Manu Chao live. The sound at the stadium is unbelievable.
I can honestly say this is one of the best outdoor concerts I have ever been too (and not just because of who was singing). It's perfect as there is so much space and the crowed really has fun out in the grass.
The only thing I would have liked is if the event's coordinator arrange for more bathrooms for large events like this one. I saw a lot of people peeing just about everywhere due to the lack of porter potties. read more
