Nuevo Progreso Bullring

Large Guadalajara bullring and event arena tied to a controversial but important tradition.

Nuevo Progreso Bullring is one of Guadalajara's major arenas, built for bullfighting and still strongly associated with that controversial tradition. Whether or not you choose to attend an event, the structure is part of the city's cultural landscape and says something about western Mexico's public spectacles.

Travellers should be honest about the ethics before buying a ticket. The building itself is easiest to appreciate from the outside or during non-bullfighting events, while the surrounding area gives a sense of how deeply sport, ritual, and public entertainment overlap in Guadalajara.
