Ferrería/Arena Ciudad de México (Spanish pronunciationⓘ; formerly Ferrería) is a station along Line 6 of the Mexico City Metro.[2][3] It is located in the Azcapotzalco municipality, in the north of Mexico City.[2] In 2019, the station had an average ridership of 23,779 passengers per day.[4]

Name and iconography

[edit]

Before 2012, the station was known only as Ferrería and its icon depicted the head of a cow. This was a reference to a cattle ranch that existed nearby, known as Ferrería; there was also a train station that serviced this ranch.[2]

In 2012, the Arena Ciudad de México was inaugurated, built-in part of the grounds of the former Hacienda Ferrería and within walking distance of the Ferrería station. The name of the station was then changed on 29 November 2012 from Ferrería to Ferrería/Arena Ciudad de México. The pictogram was also modified, with the new icon depicting the stylized façade of the Mexico City Arena.[5][2]
