Well it is kindda far away, the state of Guanajuato (where Leon is located) is not a drug gang hot spot, the most dangerous areas are mostly in the north (with north I mean at least 500kms north), closer to the border with the US and along the drug route from south america to the states, thats is mainly the Pacific Coast and the northern part of the Gulf. I guess the closest hot spot is the state of Zacatecas about 300 kms north where some violence has occurred. But this is a high profile event and Im sure the police presence will be very high.
