The stadium hosted its first major international event with the first leg of the 2010 Finals of the Copa Libertadores, and hosted the 2011 Pan American Games opening and closing ceremonies. The stadium's artificial field caused great controversy, drawing criticism from many notable players, and in May 2012, it was announced that the stadium would replace the artificial turf with natural grass.[4]
History
In February 2004, C.D. Guadalajara announced that it would construct a new stadium of its own, intending to leave Estadio Jalisco.[5] Construction on the stadium did not begin until May 2007.[6]
The third public football match at the stadium was a friendly between Guadalajara and Manchester United on 30 July 2010. Guadalajara won the game 3–2, with the first goal at the stadium scored by Javier "Chicharito" Hernández playing for Guadalajara.[7] This match was held to represent Hernández's transfer from Guadalajara to Manchester United, with Hernández playing the first half for Guadalajara and switching sides to Manchester United in the second half, thus symbolically sealing his transfer contract that had been signed in March 2010.[8]
The stadium hosted 8 matches of the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup, including a semifinal, between Uruguay and Brazil.
It was also the venue of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2011 Pan American Games, where it also hosted all the matches of both men's and women's football tournament.
In May 2012, following criticism regarding the artificial field, it was announced that the stadium would replace the artificial turf with natural grass.[9] The replacement was complete by July.[10]
In December 2017, the stadium changed its name from Estadio Omnilife to Estadio Akron, after signing a sponsorship deal with a car lubricants firm for 10 years.[11]

Das Estadio Akron (zuvor Estadio Omnilife sowie Estadio Chivas) ist ein Fußballstadion in Zapopan, einem nordwestlich von Guadalajara gelegenen Vorort, im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Jalisco. Bereits von Beginn an war zunächst geplant, das Stadion nach dem örtlichen Fußballverein Chivas Guadalajara zu benennen, der hier seither seine Heimspiele austrägt. Einen Monat vor der offiziellen Eröffnung wurde dann aber bekannt gegeben, dass die Spielstätte den Namen des als Sponsor vorgesehenen spanischen Telekommunikationsunternehmens Movistar erhalten werde.[1] Eine Woche vor Eröffnung wurde als neuer Name dann Omnilife genannt;[2] nach der Firma des Stadioninhabers Jorge Vergara, der zugleich Präsident des Fußballvereins Chivas Guadalajara ist. Dieser Name wurde dann tatsächlich vergeben und hatte bis Ende Februar 2016 Bestand. Im Dezember 2017 die Änderung des Sponsoringnamens in Estadio Akron vereinbart. Der Vertrag ab der Saison 2018 mit dem Hersteller von Automobil-Schmierstoffen hat eine Laufzeit von zehn Jahren.[3]- [en] Estadio Akron
