    Este año, Google Earth y la Fundación ICA abrieron el archivo completo del Estadio Azteca. De hecho, es el primer estadio del mundo en recibir partidos de tres Mundiales distintos, 1970, 1986 y este mismo 2026. Llegué a México hace menos de un año, tuve la chance de estar en la reinauguración del estadio antes del Mundial, y ahora me toca redescubrir gran parte de esta mística. Gracias a esta nueva experiencia interactiva, cualquiera puede explorar las seis décadas del estadio desde la pantalla, con fotos que arrancan en los años sesenta. Antes, para conocer la memoria de un lugar, tenías que haber estado ahí o visitar una biblioteca. Hoy, por primera vez, esta historia está al alcance de todos.  Les comparto el archivo completo del Azteca en el primer comentario 👇
