				| I will be attending a concert there on Thursday and wonder if any DF dwellers could point me toward the nearest metro station? 
 Thanks

				| this is embarrassing, i think i live right next to it... i'm guessing ciudad deportiva or velodromo. they're the east (pantitlan) end of the brown line. the metro is above ground starting at velodromo so you can look out the window and maybe spot it from the air. that should make walking there easier.
 
 be a little careful if it's at night, jardin balbuena is not the greatest of colonias.

				| Velodromo is it...nearest stop.  The area is a bit dodgy as Matt says, though it isn't Jardin Balbuena right there...some other colonia I can't recall the name to. |  |

				| Thanks for your help.  Found the place no problem and had a cracking time.  A bit bleary-eyed at school today but well worth it. |  |
