Partner Clubs edit

I think this entry needs a section on Tigres' partnership with its Major League Soccer affiliates, FC Dallas.

WhataboutTecos of UA de G? UANL and UNAM unquestionably most prestigious? John wesley 13:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: UAG is not a public university. The article clearly states that we are talking about "public universities" here. Clearly, UANL and UNAM are the two most prestigious PUBLIC universities in the country, but not necessarily the most prestigious when competing with private schools. ITESM is a much better school (however, ITESM does not have a professional soccer team playing in the Mexican league). Hari Seldon 23 Abril 2006

Stadium edit

The stadium of Tigres is not 52,000 of capacity. In 86' the stadium was not officially recognized as a capacity of 52,000. Nuevo leon Department of ticket sales determine that on a sold out Tigres game the highest registered ticket sales do not surpass 43,000 already with full staff and visited teams. This Is fully supported due to that most of the stadium is a counted seater except for the general location above by FMF and FIFA. http://femexfut.org.mx/portal/index.php

If you have a source, I suggest you reference it before making the change. Official stadium website says that the stadium has a recognized capacity of 52,000. Hari Seldon 00:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)Reply


That does not matter the official registered ticket sales of a sold out Uanl game in in the state of Nuevo leon have tigres at 45,000 Maximum, "with Staff and crew". The Tigres.com.mx website is incorrect and that page has not been modified in years. The capacity cannot increase when most of a stadium becomes a full seater (Excluding General Admission). Attendance is most accurately determined. FMF/FIFA have stadium recognized actually at 39,997. http://www.femexfut.org.mx/portal/index.php?Opc=4&SelDiv=0&entro=1 This is the official registered capacity. And the local Pro's have it for 52,000?

The page you make reference to does not indicate what you are saying. Sourced material takes precedence over unsourced material. Sorry, sourced material says the stadium's capacity is 52,000. Hari Seldon 21:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

The difference between my source and yours is that mine is official and Tigres website is not official. You have not found one source from the OFFICIAL FIFA OR FMF that states it is recognized at such capacity.

No, the difference between your "source" and mine is that mine gives a number, yours doesn't. The link does not source what you are trying to prove. Hari Seldon 18:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Bottom line is that your source is giving a number that is not Official, In other words its a false number. My Prove is authentic that capacity is not at a 52,000. wheather i am trying to state that its at 43, 45, or 39 there is no capacity in that stadium for 52,000 as proven by the FMF and FIFA.

The Official team website is an official source, and even if it wasn't, it doesn't mean it is false. I have a source, you don't: that's the bottom line. Either get a source that shows the number or end this fruitless discussion. Hari Seldon 15:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

okay fine you want this okay take it how it comes either way you want it we will see who is right or wrong. Denying these sources im about to list with all respect is just complete ignorance.

yeah so your right the fruitless discussion should end. Yet Tigres.com.mx which has not been updated since 1998 (exception of its Front Page)is considered a source hah, your going to have to do better then that. The last 9 sources (Fifa, FMF, Femex, Laopinion, Elporvenir, NL, SD, are 10 times more reliable then Tigres.com.mx, Since it is PRO-Team. Yet the Main prove of the stadium attendance comes from the source that built that stadium and performs it's yearly Maintence. NL Government and SD. And i have that source but I do believe it no longer necessary to use it.

I updated the stadium capacity to 43,150. The official UANL Website states in a recent update (may 28th 2009) that the capacity the stadium holds is 43,000 plus the 150 available to the media according the Tigres' official website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skulls 311 (talkcontribs) 23:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

reverted edits edit

I have reverted some recent edits by JulianTV. The reasons are as follows:

  • Edits are not supported by sources
  • Wording is confusing and grammar is weird
  • Primera División A is not Second Division. Segunda División is Second Division. Wikipedia has articles on both playing levels, and thus it is preferable to have the most accepted translation from wikipedia
  • There is no such thing as a "vice-champion". The correct translation is "runner-up".
  • Some of these edits appear to be original research, and/or motivated by personal feelings.

largest average attendance ??????????? edit

In the next line : "Tigres have held the record for the largest average attendance in Mexico for ten years running (42,777), which is the 98% of the available capacity ", the link is broken, and by the way thats not true, the Pumas football club has a larger avarage attendance but with a fewer avarage of the available capacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex gnpi (talkcontribs) 00:23, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Tigres de la UANLTigres UANL – The use of "de la" in the title seems unnecessary. This change would not infringe on the recognizability and precision of the article (points 1 and 3 of WP:CRITERIA) and it would certainly improve the naturalness and conciseness (points 2 and 4) of the article. As for consistency, some articles like C.D. Guadalajara and C.F. Pachuca use abbreviations but I argue these are for disambiguation purposes. I bring this up because the club could also be renamed C.F. Tigres as the club's name is Club de Fútbol Tigres. Going in this direction would weaken the recognizability and naturalness of the article title. Sources demonstrate Tigres UANL is just as commonly used as Tigres de la UANL. Google Books showed Tigres de la UANL 191 results and Tigres UANL showed 204 results. A Google Trends search also supports Tigres UANL. In addition, the club website omits "de la" from the title bar.

  • Support – I support the move and believe at one point the article's title was either Tigres UANL or UANL Tigres (the former is preferable because the football club is normally called Tigres and UANL simply identified the university with which it is associated).

Campeones Cup is not an official international torunament. edit

The Campeones Cup is not an official title, since it is not listed in any official site of Concacaf. In addition, in this note from Televisa Deportes (an important source of sports news in Mexico) about the 2019 edition, it is clarified that it is a friendly match and it is not endorsed by Concacaf. Must be in the friendly tournament section, not in international titles.
