Roberto, accompanied by his wife Paola and baby Ramsés, shared his enjoyment of the family outing. "I think it's nice to spend the day together as a family," he commented while walking through the Zócalo. Prepared to watch a soccer match, he added, "We came prepared to watch the game and have a good time. We wanted to take advantage of Father's Day to be together."
However, Roberto noted a surprising lack of crowds compared to other events held in the Zócalo. "We thought there would be many more people because of the game and the date, but it was quieter than we imagined," he admitted.

"It's great that they hold these kinds of events because you can come with the family, watch football, and have a good time without spending too much," he said.

His grandchildren enjoyed the activities, making it a worthwhile celebration. "The children are entertained, we bond, and everyone has a pleasant time," Víctor Manuel stated. He echoed the sentiment about lower attendance, remarking, "It did strike us that there were few people; we thought it would be much fuller for Father's Day and the game."
