Clásico Regiomontano is a football derby in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, between crosstown rival teams Monterrey and Tigres. It is known for being one of the most intense and competed derbies in Mexican football, and is widely regarded as the most important Mexican derby .
Since the first Clásico in 1974, the two teams have competed 104 times for bragging rights and city "honour". The match is the biggest game of the season in Monterrey, and every year fans wait in line for days outside the stadium just to get tickets, which are often priced at two or three times their regular value.
Despite the fact that the game involves two teams from one city Monterrey, whereas the Clásico Nacional involves two teams from two different cities Mexico City and Guadalajara, the Clásico Regiomontano generates more monetary income in sales, publicity, etc.
Currently Monterrey and UANL have the most expensive squad in the Liga MX
