The '''Estadio Universitario''' ("University Stadium"), nicknamed '''''El Volcán''''' (''[[Spanish language|Spanish]]'' for "The Volcano"), is a [[Association football|football]] [[stadium]] located on the campus of the [[Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León]] in [[San Nicolás de los Garza]], [[Nuevo León]], [[Mexico]], in the metropolitan area of [[Monterrey]].

Construction cost $23 million [[Mexican peso|MXN]] when the stadium was completed in 1967. The official dedication occurred on May 30 of that year. Originally planned to hold nearly 90,000 spectators, the plan was downscaled to meet financial needs.<ref name=hist /> After the 1986 FIFA World Cup, the stadium's official capacity was 52,000. Later, modifications were made to improve the fan experience and increase safety, resulting in a reduced capacity; the stadium currently seats 41,615.<ref name=hist>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tigres.com.mx/historia/legado/historia-del-estadio/ |title=Historia del Estadio |access-date=March 8, 2012 |publisher=www.tigres.com.mx |archive-date=July 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716112633/http://www.tigres.com.mx/historia/legado/historia-del-estadio/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2016, a proposal was floated to build a replacement venue for Tigres that would sit atop the Santa Catarina River running through central Monterrey. The proposed stadium would have seated 80,000. The National Water Commission, CONAGUA, rejected the project as potentially affecting the flow of the river (the dry riverbed was infamously developed with parks and parking facilities that were swept away in 2010's [[Hurricane Alex (2010)|Hurricane Alex]]).

While the [[Auténticos Tigres]], the university's American football team, have their own stadium (the [[Estadio Gaspar Mass]]), the Estadio Universitario is normally used for playoff games and [[ONEFA]] championships. One exception was the 2016 ONEFA championship game, played at Gaspar Mass due to a playoff soccer game scheduled for the next day.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.reforma.com/aplicacioneslibre/articulo/default.aspx?id=990215&md5=c75a7d403ad5be2b84c17472448d4616&ta=0dfdbac11765226904c16cb9ad1b2efe&po=1|work=Reforma|first=Jesús|last=Carvajal|date=22 November 2016|title=Les gusta en el Gaspar|access-date=13 May 2017}}</ref>
