The ancient Zapotec capital, Monte Alban
It's not quite Cameron Indoor Stadium, but it is the cities ball court

Monte Alban
We spent yesterday morning exploring the ancient ruins of Monte Alban, the capital city of the Zapotec people for 1200 years, between 500 BC and 750. It is known as one of the most spectacular ruined cities of Mesoamerica. It was quite beautiful, breath-taking, and facninating. Mia did a great job climbing all the stairs and exploring the site before she fell fast asleep on the ride home.
