Timeline
17:48
Arrive at Estadio Akron before the light hits its peak. The stadium was the main venue for the 2011 Pan-American Games and home to Deportivo Guadalajara (Chivas). It is a striking piece of architecture that looks best in the fading afternoon light.
18:33
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts at 18:01 and the sun dips below the horizon at 18:33. This is the key moment for the stadium's silhouette.
19:18
Stay for a drink as darkness falls. The stadium grounds offer a relaxed atmosphere to unwind after the main event of the evening.
Local tip
Chivas plays here every other Saturday at 19:00. If you visit on a match day, expect crowds and noise. For a quiet evening view, go on a non-match day.
