UNAM's refusal to renew Cruz Azul's lease for its Estadio Olimpico Universitario continues to generate much controversy in the Mexican soccer world, and now an unconfirmed version has emerged that it was all due to an alleged act of revenge by the authorities. According to reports on the Mediotiempo and Record websites, the reason was that the Cruz Azul management publicly accused security personnel at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario last October, after the match against Monterrey, of exceeding their authority against a fan of the "Celeste Machine," causing his death. This fan, named Rodrigo Mondragon, greatly angered the Cruz Azul management, who demanded a thorough investigation to clarify the facts, especially since most media outlets reported that members of the university's security personnel were involved. This situation caused a rift that, according to the same unofficial reports, could not be repaired at a breakfast meeting supposedly held on October 17, just days after the tragic death of the Cruz Azul fan. At this meeting, the incident was discussed at length, and agreements were reached to prevent a recurrence. bloody of this type.

There, the UNAM officials also apparently agreed to renew the rental agreement at a cost of $11 million pesos and even processed the contract renewal document.

But at the beginning of December, they tried to contact these same officials and there was no response of any kind until January 6th, that is, 80 days later, to inform the Cruz Azul management that there were no conditions for renewing the rental contract due to a myriad of activities scheduled at this venue.This decision forced Cruz Azul to immediately seek an alternate venue, and their first choice was the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium. However, relations with the Cosio family, owners of the property, were strained when, a year prior, the Cruz Azul management decided to move from the Pumas' stadium. This situation led Cruz Azul to choose the Cuauhtemoc stadium in Puebla, with all the complications that come with playing in a venue 132 kilometers east of Mexico City. To make matters worse, the injury suffered by Cruz Azul goalkeeper Kevin Mier at the hands of Pumas' Panamanian player Adalberto Carrasquilla opened another front in the conflict between the two clubs' management, further contributing to the denial of the lease renewal for the Estadio Olimpico Universitario.
