- Mayor Clara Brugada noted that approximately 40 trains will be available to serve more than 400,000 passengers each day, and highlighted that the city leads Latin America in video surveillance with a total of 123,000 cameras.
- The reopening supports long-term stadium use for 40 to 50 years, respects its legacy, and includes Los Pinos as the media center, reflecting a wider urban regeneration around the stadium.
