Pepsi Center WTC — Attraction in Mexico City

The WTC México began its existence as the Hotel de México, a building and complex that never really performed their intended functions.[1] Construction of the Hotel de México took place in a lot called "Parque de La Lama" located in the Napoles neighborhood (Spanish: Colonia Nápoles).[2] The lot was set aside by real estate businessperson José Jerónimo de La Lama in 1947. However, by 1966, when the project was started, the owner and financial sponsor was Manuel Suárez y Suárez. The Hotel de México project included a hotel building as well as a cultural center housing the Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros and several other facilities aimed at making the complex a hub for business, culture, tourism, and architecture. Plans for the complex were presented at the 13th international architecture contest in Munich. Slated to be ready for the 1968 Olympics, the project ran over schedule and over budget and although the main tower was completed in 1972, it never really functioned as a hotel, and, due to political and economic reasons, the tower, as well as the rest of the complex, were left in an unfinished state, save for the Polyforum. In the mid-1980s, a project was started to turn the Hotel de México complex into an international business center. Mr. Suárez backed the idea and, although he died in 1988, the remodeling began with partial public funding in 1992. In 1995, the complex, now known as World Trade Center México, opened its doors with the tower now remodeled as an office building, as well as a convention center. Floors 40 and 41 housed TV studios for Corporación de Noticias e Información, which operated XHTVM Canal 40. On May 19, 2005, these floors were evacuated after the beginning of a strike at CNI. The facilities have remained untouched due to the legal cases that have followed CNI since 2005.[3]:11 The WTC also houses the transmission facilities for XHFO-FM.[4]:51 Most recently, the World Trade Center added a second theater, the 7,500-seat Pepsi Center WTC, which was completed in 2012.[5] It is used primarily for concerts...

Es un centro de espectáculos amplio e innovador pues puede cambiar la disposición de su espacio en función de la cantidad de personas que acudirán al evento.

El audio es genial, el sonido se escucha fiel y agradable, el único detalle son sus pantallas pues las considero demasiado pequeñas para la distancia que hay hacia los asistentes más lejanos del escenario.

Otro punto a mejorar serían los sanitarios fijos, pues me parecieron insuficientes para satisfacer las necesidades del numeroso público y los sanitarios móviles estaban del asco, super sucios.

También le falta más personal uniformado de control y vigilancia al interior pues no hay quien te oriente ni apoye, solo en el área de acceso y en un evento dónde hay tanta venta de bebidas alcohólicas debería haber más personal atento para resolver incidentes con asistentes que se ponen en estado inconveniente.

Otra situación que no me pareció es que vendían agua natural embotellada de 600 ml. y el personal que abre la bebida se negó a dar la tapa, lo cual no me agrado, pues prácticamente te obligan a tomar todo el contenido de golpe al no tener la oportunidad de beberlo a libre disposición, dada la posibilidad de que en cualquier momento se te derrame el agua por no poder cerrar la botella.

No prohíben fumar al ínterior, lo cual tampoco me agrado porque muchísimas personas lo hacían y se encierra todo el humo.

Cuenta con aire acondicionado pero no lo ponen a funcionar y si hay mucha gente, ya se imaginarán el calor que se siente.

Cuenta con estacionamiento pero limitan el paso vehicular y al término de los eventos la salida se caracteriza por la extrema lentitud y falta de personal que organice los vehículos dado que hay...

Parking option near the venue at the WTC, entrance to it not really coordinated, the venue during concerts has multiple screens and the audio is really good but they have a big issue at the tickets area, window does not allow buyer to enter the PIN at the POS when purchasing ticket so either you pay with cash, a card that does not request PIN only signature or you have to give the PIN to the teller so that he enters it for you on the POS, they really need...
