Finally, an agreement was reached with the municipality of Teziutlán, with which the Leones Dorados took over the Municipal Stadium of the town,[5][6] which had been remodeled recently,[7] the field was left without a club after C.F. Zaragoza, which had announced it as its headquarters, was not accepted into the LBM.[8]
