About this tip
Club Tijuana, the Xolos, plays Liga MX at Estadio Caliente, nicknamed La Perrera, just across the river from the border crossing. The pitch is artificial turf because hot springs under the ground keep grass from growing. Buy tickets only through the club's official site, which links its ticket seller. A Tijuana guide advises going by public transport on match days to avoid traffic, so leave early and check the fixture list first.
