Francisco Toledo, the painter, who is arguably Oaxaca's greatest patron, having sponsored many restoration and beautification projects, thinks the new roof over the Guelaguezta Stadium is "ugly." The artist has joined others in condemning the project saying that the money could have been spent on more pressing needs.
Toledo, the founder of the Institute of Graphical Arts of Oaxaca (IAGO), is sorry that so much money has been spent on this project; “There are so many needs in the state, that this is a barbarism.... There is a need to erase this clown outfit, that is can be seen from any part of the city, because aesthetically it is very, very ugly.... This monstrosity can be seen from every angle, it presence dominates the city."

What el Maestro says is true. It is an eyesore that is in our faces every day of the year while it is only needed a few days a year.
It will be interesting to see if the spectators embrace the roof.

I am holding off judgment until the Guelaguetza comes and goes. How's that for equivocation?
