The Tomateros festival consists of a light show, fireworks, and artistic performances on the field.
The final step: patriotic symbols
By tradition in Mexico, the National Anthem is played at the beginning of sports seasons, and the Tomateros are no exception. This year, the Culiacán team opens the season against the Algodoneros de Guasave, rivals from the same region.
The national symbols are the last step before starting the game, with the National Anthem sung and the flag honored.
