| dc.description | View looking at the northwest side of the stadium; It was built in 1952 and at that time was the largest stadium in Mexico, capacity of 62,700. It was renamed to host the Olympic Games of 1968; for the event the seating capacity was increased from 70,000 to 83,700 spectators (without substantially modifying the original structure) to cover the IOC requirements for an Olympic stadium. On the east side of University Olympic Stadium, is a mural (1956) by Diego Rivera, left unfinished at his death in 1957. Architects; Augusto Perez Palacios, Raul Salinas and Jorge Bravo Moro.
