Estadio BBVA is not downtown — it sits in Guadalupe, on the eastern side of the Monterrey metro area, about 24 kilometres from the airport and a short hop from the city centre. There is no single “stadium train” that drops you at the gate, but getting there is straightforward once you know the three realistic options: the Metro, rideshare, and a taxi.
From downtown Monterrey
The cheapest reliable route is the Metro. Take Metrorrey toward the east and ride to Exposición station, then walk through Parque La Pastora to the stadium in roughly 12 to 15 minutes. From the centre the whole trip runs about 20 minutes plus the walk, and on a match day you will simply follow the crowd. The Ecovía bus rapid-transit line runs along the Lincoln/Ruiz Cortines corridor and stops within a kilometre or two of the stadium as well, though it is slower than the Metro.
If you would rather not navigate transit before a big match, Uber and DiDi both operate across Monterrey and are the most practical door-to-door option from the centre. Expect surge pricing right after the final whistle — the easiest move is to walk ten minutes away from the stadium before you request a car, or take the Metro back.
From the airport (MTY)
Monterrey's airport is about 24 kilometres from the stadium, a drive of roughly 22 minutes in normal traffic. There is no direct public transit from the terminal, so rideshare or taxi is the sensible choice. Order an Uber or DiDi from the designated pickup zone, or buy a prepaid taxi voucher at the official airport taxi desk — budget somewhere around 8 to 10 US dollars for the ride. Settling the fare at the desk before you get in avoids any confusion over price.
Match-day tip: arrive early and leave on foot. Roads around the stadium close and fill before kickoff, so the Metro plus a short walk often beats a car that is stuck in the same traffic everyone else created.
Do I need a car?
For the stadium, no — between the Metro and rideshare you are well covered, and parking near Estadio BBVA on a match day is its own ordeal. A car earns its keep only if you plan to leave the city for the mountains or a day trip like the Grutas de García. For match days, travel light and let the train do the work.
