Tuesday July 2nd, 2024
We have two recommendations after the conference.
Lucha Libre spectacle
Tuesday is “Lucha Libre Day” (wrestling fights), starting at 20h30 at the Coliseum arena downtown. In Mexico, it is a surreal spectacle. During the conference, you can register for a list in the information area at DiGRA 2024. We can meet at 19h30 at the Degollado Teather main entry in front of Plaza de Armas and back to the Cathedral. We plan to go together to the Coliseum Arena (in 17-person groups for available transport). Casual dress code. Entry is to be paid by each participant (the most expensive ticket is 500 MXN in the first row).
Go to dinner to Casa Dolores in Downtown.
A typical Mexican restaurant starts with a good cocktail, a mixology, or a straight tequila and continues with a Mexican gastronomic experience. It’s best to arrive at 19h30 since the restaurant closes at 22h. You can place your name in the DiGRA 2024 reception to reserve for a group. The dress code is casual. Consumption in the restaurant is to be paid by each participant. Menu starts with 450 MXN.
Adress: Paseo Alcalde 22, Col. Centro. Guadalajara, Jal. (open link for google maps)
