The Estadio Hidalgo is a football stadium located in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. It is the home stadium of Pachuca in Liga MX and Pachuca Femenil in Liga MX Femenil. The stadium was inaugurated in 1993 and has a capacity of 25,922 seats. It is the highest sports center in the state of Hidalgo and its name, like that of the state, is in honor of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla the father of the Independence of Mexico.

Nicknamed "El Huracán" (The Hurricane), due to the great dominance of CF Pachuca in its golden era playing at home, saying "the team at home plays devastating like a hurricane". The stadium was remodeled and modernized under the administration of Grupo Pachuca, for which it was reopened on 1 August 2004.
