Magdalena Mixuhca Sports City was enlarged in 1967 as part of the project to create the venues needed for the 1968 Summer Olympics.[4] The Sports City is home to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez (racetrack), the Foro Sol (baseball stadium and concert venue),[5][6] the Agustín Melgar Olympic Velodrome, and the Palacio de los Deportes (indoor arena).[4]

The station is elevated and sits in the median of the Viaducto Río Piedad. It was opened 26 August 1987.[7] The logo for the station represents a player engaged in a Mesoamerican ballgame (a similar logo is used for Metro Deportivo 18 de Marzo on lines 3 and 6).[2]

In December 2009 a man in his 30s was shot twice in the back at the station.[8]

From 23 April to 15 May 2020,[9] the station was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico.[10]
