The Plaza de toros Nuevo Progreso[1] is a bullring in the Mexican city of Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Architect Jose Manuel Gomez Vazquez Aldana made the executive project and drew up the plans for the new bullring, and this one was built by architects Leopoldo Torres Águila, Manuel Parga, and Gorki Guido Bayardo, and civil engineers Mario Quiñones, Alfonso Ortega Pérez, and Mario Fernández.

The first name of this venue was Plaza Monumental, and was inaugurated on Saturday, 4 February 1967, when six bulls bred in the facilities of cattle breeder José Julián Llaguno, were fought by matadors Joselito Huerta, Raúl Contreras "Finito", and Manolo Martínez.

[4] Leodegario Hernández went through a streak of bad business, and in 1971 he decided to sell the plaza to his competitor, Ignacio García-Aceves.

In 1990, Espectáculos Taurinos de México, Sociedad Anónima (ETMSA), a company which a few years ago changed its name to Espectáculos Monterrey, Sociedad Anónima (EMSA)[6][7] and was led by the nowadays deceased Mexican billionaire Alberto Baillères, purchased the bullring.
