The old basilica was sinking as a result of the weakness of the ground, as the city was built on a former lake. As a consequence a new, more spacious, basilica was built. The old one was closed for many years and repairs have recently finished. It is now again open to the public and perpetual veneration is held there.
Modern basilica
Interior view of the modern Basilica during Mass. The modern basilica was built between 1974 and 1976 by the Mexican architect Pedro Ramírez Vásquez who was also the architect of the Estadio Azteca (Spanish for "Aztec Stadium"). It is a circular building constructed in such a way as to allow maximum visibility for the image to those inside. The structure is supported by 350 pilots that prevent the basilica from sinking with the rest of the ground.

Atrium Controversy In November 30, 2006, Basilica authorities announced plans to set a Domino's Pizza franchise in the atrium. This would require the removal of about 150 merchants who sell typical food there. Authorities of the Gustavo A. Madero borough denied the request of removing them, arguing that the sellers already have the legal permissions to work in there. The Domino's franchise is waiting approval from both the Basilica and the local government to begin operations. If the venture proceeds the Basilica would receive nearly a million pesos profit.[1].
