2011 Pan American Games closing ceremony

The Closing Ceremony of the 2011 Pan American Games took place on October 30, 2011, beginning at 6:00 pm CST (00:30 UTC, October 31) at Omnilife Stadium in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

The closing ceremony was originally scheduled to be held at Jalisco Stadium.

However, the organizing committee for the Games (COPAG) changed the venue to Omnilife Stadium, because of its superior infrastructure and technological capability to host the event.
