Mexico: Hail and Rain Batter Stadium in Mexico City at End of Liga MX Game

Heavy rain and hail hit the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City during the final minutes of the Pumas vs. Atlas match on Sunday, August 31. The sudden downpour flooded the pitch, the corridors leading to the locker rooms, and areas around the anti-doping rooms, forcing many fans to seek shelter. The post-match press conference for Atlas coach Diego Cocca was canceled due to the unsafe conditions, as waterlogged passageways made it impossible for him to reach the media area safely. Despite the severe weather, the match was completed, and the stadium remained affected by flooding even after the final whistle.

This is the same location as that in photograph #2200. The work on the arbors and passageways has progressed, creating the look of a tourist attraction. Horikiri is located on flat land on the east bank of Ayase River. However, the elevated pats of the garden indicate that extensive landscape work was done.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number53‐1‐0]

This is the same location as that in photograph #2612. However, the work on the passageways around the arbors and iris fields is incomplete. The arbor on elevated area to the left was built to give people a good view of the irises. The man at the bridge on the left appears to be young.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Tamamura Kozaburo, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number48‐53‐0]
