Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera (formally known as Gimnasio Olímpico Juan de la Barrera) is a Mexico City arena used most prominently for basketball. It was constructed for the 1968 Olympics and can hold 5,242 people. AAA runs many of its TV tapings from the Distrito Federal here, and it also has held shows for lower-level groups with high aspirations, such as Robles Promotions and NWA Mexico.
The heyday for Gimnasio Juan de la Barrera as a wrestling venue came in 1993, when over half of AAA's TV tapings that year took place there. In 1994 AAA went back to existing as a pure touring promotion, but they returned to this building several times when they ran Mexico City.
