Although this structure does not differ from other spaces for the ball game in the Maya area, its location in the urban system of Dzibilchaltún is very special. It is important to highlight the relationship of this structure with the Cenote Xlacah and the Central Plaza, as well as with the two sacbeo'ob located in the northern part of the plaza, with an east-west alignment. This relationship is important, since in pre-Hispanic thought the flow of the sun across the sky is divided into three transcendent moments, each associated with a cardinal direction: sunrise is identified with the east, sunset with the west, the position of the sun at the zenith with the north and, in addition, the south corresponds to a position of the sun at the nadir. The latter means that the southern region represents the underworld, the interior of the earth, where the twin heroes of the Popol Vuh play ball with the lords of death, to later emerge triumphant as the sun and the moon. In Dzibilchaltún, this mythological conception was built into the urban environment, since the ball game is located south of Cenote Xlacah, a portal to the underworld.
