Mexico City – Robinson Can has spent 17 seasons in the Major League Baseball in front of all types of baseball fans, but he thinks there is something special about the Mexican Baseball League’s Diabloos Rosos.
He is not alone.
The Mexico summer league on Thursday aims to open the 100th season in the 2023 World Baseball Classic to maintain an impressive growth in the presence of the Mexican national team after the end of the Mexican national team, and is already out of the Soccer Club of some first division.
After winning the third place in the 2021 tournament, many casual fans, some of them, were disappointed after the elimination of Mexico national team in the first round of the World Cup in Qatar, in Qatar, and many of them seemed to have been their attention for a long time.
“We are continuing to grow up and this season will not be different,” league president Horacio de la Vega told the Associated Press. “Our growth is related to the fact that we are not only selling baseball, but the whole experience.”
In Mexico City, “Basble experience” occurs at Alfredo Harp Helu Stadium of $ 160 million, a venue that was opened in March 2019 and 20,000 will arrive.
Although the ballpark is smaller than the MLB standard, the environment is like a carnival.
“This is a special city where fans come to the weather in every game it is day or night,” said AP. “As a player, the park supports the baseball that is a big inspiration to see the full park of fans” “
The 32 -year -old Dominican, who appeared in eight All Star Games, played five franchises in the United States, among them New York Yankis. He was the key player to lead Diabloos Rosos in the championship last season and he recently agreed to return to the second.
His career was fully played for the Estrelas Orientals of the Can the Dominican Republic and participated in several Caribbean series, every year, a team played in different countries around Mexico and Central America.
“The environment in Mexico is a bit like the Caribbean series, but there you are playing for your country and this is a short tournament,” said canoe. “Here, it’s a long season and yet the fans are still there every night.”
Las Season, Diabloos Roseos was at the top of the league with 1,695, then Toros D Tizuana (5,3) and Sultanes de Monontre (1,212).
Soccer Club Pachuka (10,713), Santos Torion (9,421), Majatlan (9,522) and Seyadad Juverages (8,980) are the worst presence in the big stadiums. The team with the best presence in the Mexican Soccer League is with Montre 43,544.
“Our owners have a great party despite being rivals on the field. Beyond that they work as allies and how to clean the bathrooms, how to keep better food and even sell beer, all kinds of things are shared.”
There are three Soccer Stadiums in Mexico City: Seyadad de Los Diports, Olympico University and Azteca, but none of them have great benefits. There is no elevator, escalator or even food court. Azteca is currently closed for reforms and may be for their 2026 World Cup.
The same thing happens in most cases of other Liga MX stadiums. The most friendly places are Estadio BBVA and Guadalazara in Montrerei. Both were chosen to host games in the next World Cup.
“We are growing continuously and this is a special season we target 5 million fans in the total presence,” said D La Vega.
After the World Baseball Classic in 2023, 4.734 million fans created the league’s presence record for a season. Last year, the number declined, but only by 93,000 fans.
And fans are getting older too. According to Othon Diaz, the president of Diabloos Rosos, nine years ago, 53% of the team’s fans 55 years of age or older and now 74% of them are under 45. Also, they were average of 3,000 fans per game and now it is up to 11,000.
