This is the proposal for the new stadium that Lazio Roma wants to built in Rome.

the design studio is : AMAgroup

and the architect is : ALFONSO MERCURIO

The stadium would be equipped with a rectractable roof so it can be closed if necessary :runaway: . This roof made out of a high-tech composite, would be semi-transparant in order to avoid a greenhouse-effect. Enough light could pass through the roof so the grass can grow...and there would be a nice and bright atmosphere inside the stadium. The roof would also have photo-voltaic solarcells to save energy. There would be seats for 40 000 people but the stand could be expanded to 60 000 seats later.Also part of the complex are an olympic swimmingpool, shops,museum,.... .With the closed roof and a special floor that can be installed above the grass and would still allow the grass to breath, the stadium can be changed into a multi-purpose building : concerts, events... .

WOW VERY COOL simple yet classy and elegant

You said right: classy and elegant!!
Very beautifull!! I love it!

Classy. Almost a contemporary looking exterior and a great looking roof. The stands are ok, but not special, shame it's only seated for 40,000.

Overall very good.(and different for a change)

Hope it gets built.

No its good that its only 40,000. Italian clubs seem rightly tired of playing in big poor half empty stadiums.
If this is built it would be a huge step forward for Italy. Question is; will it be be buiilt?? I think Lazio have had plans for many years without anything happening

Great design! especialy roof . Simple but elegant

Nooooo dont abandon olimpico!! haha this is a great design...but it seems weird that both Roma and Lazio want to built just one stadium?? Ok lazio's financial situation is not that good so......... :)

Hope it gets built soon!!!

The name of the team is Lazio Roma, hence one stadium, only for Lazio. ;)

Oh thanx!! This got me confused as I heard the sportscaster the other day saying that both teams (SS and Roma ) to build their new fields!! :)
This is a great stadium!!

A BEAUTIFUL stadium!

One question thought. How can a club which is reportedly tens of millions in debt fund such a stadium?

Indeed they are still on the edge of being bankrupt. But at least they have sold some expensive star-players....to balance their budget.The stadium could even be part of the solution.Because a big problem for both the clubs Lazio and Roma is the cost of playing in the Olimpico-stadium. Since it is property of the Italian Olympic Commitee and of the city ,Lazio has to pay a big amount of rent every year and therefore financially it would be better to have their own stadium in the long run. After a decade or two, they would have won the construction-costs back.

They calculated that every homegame they would earn 5 times more if they wouldn't have to pay the rent for the stadium. Also owning your own stadium gives you more possibilities for advertising and sponsors (Vip-boxes). In general with such a beautiful and modern stadium they will probably attract more people to the stadium------>more money-------->better players---------->more sponsors-------->and above all better deals for the TV-rights and that is still a huge source of income. If you are financially independent, free from the burden of rent, you can also invest more again in your team and perform better. And than you can earn even more. The big problem : it has to start somewhere with an investment.


They don't have the money however to start the construction. That's why they are looking into loaning from the Italian Fund for Stadiumrenovation. Ideally they could get a long-running loan spread out over 20 years and pay back the stadium, which is always better than having to pay rent for someone else.Of course a possible bid for Euro 2012 would be a big push for the Italian government to invest in new stadiums. :)

The stadium that Ama-group designed is also much more than a stadium , because of the retractable roof it can be used for events and concerts, it also has an olimpic swimmingpool, shoppingcenter, fitnesscenter, merchandisingstore...... . All this to make sure that the stadium begins to earn money as soon as it is built and not just during the games, this would bring the pricetag down again.

The biggest problem however is the land for the construction of all this. Lotito, the owner of Lazio says he already owns a big peace of land in Rome (Tiberina-area). He wants to use it to built the stadium so he doesn't have to pay for new land. But according to the plans in Rome this is an : Agricultural Zone. So it can not be used for construction. Lotito of course wants to convince the mayor to give him permission to built the stadium there nevertheless. But it will not be easy, because it would be landspeculation, and although this happened thousands of times in Italy in the past....the city will not be convinced easily to participate in such a project.So now Lotito is threatening to leave the city with his team and to built the stadium outside Rome if he doesn't get permission. But it's just to put pressure on the city-council, Lazio fans would probably never accept their team leaving Rome.

Withing the next year it will become clear if the stadium has a chance or not. :)

Very nice design, let's hope it'll be built.

Update :) :

The stadium is still being discussed by the city council and the owner of Lazio. The debate and political battle continue. Lotito now proposed to donate 30 hectares of land to the city to create a park in order to get permission to construct the stadium. Some new renderings are available and it was also anounced that the final project now aims for 60 000 seats.

its so refreshing without being pretentious!! awesome stadium, a real modern stadium that is both eye catching and functional EXCELLENT!!

It's an excellent looking stadium. I hope it gets built. .

Excellent design. Obviously they intend to use transparent membrane material (same as in munich ?) and an accordion-style cover for the rectractable roof. However, looking at the renderings it seems a little bit small for a 60000-all-seater (is this the 40.000-configuration ?).
I hope it gets built.

Looks great.

Nice to see some original designs in Europe, instead of the standard lego-kit design. Roma should build their own football stadium too, the Olimpico is too big for normal games.

nice. This will have a bit more heart, shared stadiums suck, and iv always found the half empty stadiums in Italy depressing and lacking in atmosphere. This will be more like a cauldron every game.

I don't like Lazio :eek2: but new stadium is ok :)))

Best regards to AS ROMA Fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obviously they intend to use transparent membrane material (same as in munich ?) and an accordion-style cover for the rectractable roof.

Wouldn´t that cause a greenhouse-effect? I´ve read that transparent membrane is a very good insulating material.

Its a wonderful stadium... but where are Lazio getting the money from?

How much does it cost?

Typically stunning architecture and engineering from the Italians.

Will the Italian rugby team play its 6 nations games here? They are getting better and better all the time and demand for their games will only increase.

what's the status of the project currently ? true for italian rugby team coached by berbizier , they should play in that stadium if built , the tournament 6 nations deserves it .

Forza Lazio, but why they don't buy the Stadio Flaminio?Is a good stadium.

There has been talks of this for ages.When will it be built? an yeah how can Lazio afford it?

any news?

The stadium looks very good imo but it looks like it won't be built soon if there are no news for nearly 2 years...

Btw: Anyone knows something about this project?

it looks like Reliant Stadium on this pictures...

Actually the main problem for this project is the location.

During the summer, it seemed that Lazio would have established their own stadium at Flaminio (now the official stadium of the national's rugby team for Six Nation), but the Rugby Association decided to establish the national team there, so now at Flaminio started the works in order to renovate it.

So the problem still remains...they need to find a good location in Rome.

I heard that renovation work at Stadio Flaminio had stopped because they'd found problems with the structure of the stadium (certainly when I was there in October no work was being carried out), and they were looking for a different venue for the Six Nations. Does anybody know what's happening?

This is a great design - modern, clean, simple, elegant, and practical (i.e. the closing roof). Everything that carbunkle of a design that is the new Anfield is not.

Can someone tell me what happened to this stadium proposal?
I really liked the look of this stadium and lets face it if there is a country that needs new stadiums then that country is most definitely Italy.

looks wonderful
don't know what's happened..

Have you seen Lazio's average gates recently? 25k would suffice for most Italian clubs never mind Lazio

Have you seen Lazio's average gates recently? 25k would suffice for most Italian clubs never mind Lazio

after the incedent in 2006 with juventus... its gone down for good,italians are have to much football... maiby if they do a wc or euro things will change...
but the best thing would be a 18-league,and a ucl italian winer...

abaut that 25k... juvenst is constructing a 40k ... delle alpi had 65... lazzio has this 40k...olompico has 85... so there is no point in managing a big stadium with no suporters...

Looks good, but it still looks like it has one of the problems of the Olimpico.

A huge gap between the seats and the stands. WHY?

I immensely dislike Lazio, but that stadium looks great!

Chinaglia for president!

when start the construction?

no date is still know, but this week and last week president Lotito and major Alemano spoke that the stadium file is still going ahead, but they have to wait for more technical specifications, because one of the zone's Lazio want to built is always drained by water, which makes difficult to construct a stadium

when this probleem seems ok, and the city of Rome give their ok, then Lazio can start building, and Lotito says it will take in between 2 1/2 to 3 years to complete it

Wow good news.
Its not dead.

Looks good, but it still looks like it has one of the problems of the Olimpico.

A huge gap between the seats and the stands. WHY?

Well, not as big as on Olimpico but still, they could have proposed the stands to be right next to the pitch...and the stand to be a bit more steep.

But the stands are close to the picth
They have a oval shape. So it will be like at Frankfurt or Cape Town
http://www.officialsm.net/wp-content/upload_img/reclazdv.jpg

You should always keep Italian fans as far away from the pitch as possible for safety reasons.

From stadionwelt.de: New project will be presented at the end of this month. Cap is 55k and the stadium will be owned by Lazio.

brilliant news, wish it was at least 60,000 though :(

brilliant news, wish it was at least 60,000 though :(
55k is more than enough! the average of lazio this season is just 37.5k ppl.

Last season it was only 21k.
Why did they get such a boost this year?

^^ a lot of italian crowds went up this season, faith in the game is returning. I'd assume as they were getting 40,000+ until the middle of this decade, and 50,000+ at the start of it you can blame the decay of the game...

55k is more than enough! the average of lazio this season is just 37.5k ppl.

But they average 37,000 in athletics stadium, a stadium which isn't as modern or doesn't have the sightlines that the new one will have. They will get 55,000 every week imho!

A Roma based 1st division club does deserve 55K football specific stadium and they can fill it up with crowds. Forget the attendance when they play in a humble athletic stadium. Don't forget that Italian people are literally crazy about football but their terrible stadium infrasture has failed to support their football fever. Lazio can sell out matches in this modern stadium with good sightline.

Nice stadium, but terrible location.

Why dont Lazio by the peninsula just north of Parioli and Stadio Flamino? I don,t know what it's called but its a peninsula of the river just east of Olimpico.

It would be really cool to build a nice stadium just by the River, sort of like the Millenium Dome in London.

The National Rugby Union team of Italy is using the Flaminio Stadium as their home venue. The stadium is no longer considered to be big enough for the team and there are reports that they would move to Genoa or the Stadio Olimpico. If this new stadium gets built, why can't the National Rugby Union Team move here?

Well, supposedly it would be up to Lazio as the owners of the stadium.

I wouldn't want to see Six Nations games moved to Genoa though - I know Rome isn't a rugby heartland, but there's something special about visiting the capital as a travelling fan...

This stadium reminds me of the wimbledon tennis stadium cause the roof can close and stuff, anyways this is actually an amazing stadium :)

WOW... what a beauty..... it looks really good, i surely hope that it will be build soon.
is it just for Lazio or is it a joint with AS Roma??

^^ lazio only, ground sharing is NOT the future

I hope the stadium will be build ! It would be an improvement for a club as Lazio.

where is the proposed location?

where is the proposed location?

They havent started yet, but my guess would be somewhere in the outskirts of Rome, im not sure.

Very nice design. They wouldn't ever need a larger capacity really.

Forza Roma!

Superb!!!!:eek2:
Just hope it gets built.

No, I meant the peninsula northeast of the Flamino. On Google Maps it seems pretty vacant.

The new stadium is going to be built in that peninsula?

I doubt that it will be built. The city just renovated the Olympic Stadium. Why would they do that if one or both of its teams were about to move out?

because of the CL final 2009 they've renovated the Olimpico

The new stadium is going to be built in that peninsula?

No, it's being built outside of the city. Byt i agree with Horatio that it would be a cool spot.

Because the mayor; Gianni Allemani wants the Olimpico to become Italys National Stadium.

New stadium of Roma was approved last week. It will have 60.000 seats.

To see some pics and some renderings of new stadium we have to wit next week.

So after Juve, an other itlaian stedium is ready to start. In 6-7 months we will see the buildinag site. :cheers:

^^ That's fantastic news.

That's good news. I'll donate 50 Euros if they start to build in main phase after the ground work is finished.

I forsee a bright future for Calcio. New stadiums will bring in more money to the clubs and more people going to the games.
And with the Serie A and B clubs breaking loose, the clubs will get even more money.

So who owns the stadium now?The city of Rome?



And what is the typical attendance for Lazio at present?

Last season it was 34,626.

It is owned by CONI, the Italian national olympic committee.

Building a new stadium is a double edged sword.

You have one up against ur opponents in terms of financial benefit and fan support.But the debts and interests literally kill u.

But i guess Roma is due a stadium for some time now.

You have one up against ur opponents in terms of financial benefit and fan support.But the debts and interests literally kill u.Not true. You don't have to build a €400 stadium. You can build a good enough 40-50k stadia for less then half of that and the stadium name and added income will more then cover the expenses (interests and downpayment).

Il 29 settembre la presentazione dello stadio AS Roma
Comunicato ufficiale della AS Roma poco fa.

L’A.S. Roma S.p.A. rende noto che in data 29 settembre 2009, alle ore 11.00 presso il Centro Sportivo Fulvio Bernardini di Trigoria, avrà luogo la conferenza stampa di presentazione del nuovo Stadio della società, a cui parteciperanno, oltre al Presidente, Dott.ssa Rosella Sensi, il Sindaco di Roma, Dott. Gianni Alemanno [per essere precisi, è ingegnere, S&B], ed il Presidente della Regione Lazio, Dott. Piero Marrazzo.

Other fantastic news:

(CORRIERE DELLO SPORT) – Lo stadio della Roma che sorgerà nel quadrante ovest della Capitale avrà una capienza di 54.500 spettatori. Il minimo consentito dalla Fifa per ospitare in futuro partite del Campionato Europeo, se un giorno sarà organizzato in Italia. Il progetto dell’architetto Gino Zavarella è pronto da tempo. E’ stato scelto dopo aver preso in considerazione anche altri studi. Sarà costruito secondo i più moderni criteri di eco sostenibilità e avrà una copertura speciale. Una membrana che permette al sole e al vento di passare per mantenere il microclima necessario al mantenimento del manto erboso, ma con delle cellule che si allargano e non fanno passare l’acqua in caso di pioggia. Un concetto di copertura rivoluzionario, che consente il massimo confort sugli spalti. L’architetto Gino Zavarella è uno dei massimi esperti in materia di impiantistica sportiva. Ha girato il mondo a studiare stadi, è rimasto per giorni a capire i segreti degli stadi di ultima generazione. Il nuovo stadio della Roma, che sarà intitolato a Franco Sensi, è stato affidato a lui e avrà una caratterizzazione inconfondibile con la Capitale.

Il costo dello stadio si aggira nel complesso intorno ai 300 milioni di euro. Per la Roma sarà a costo zero, perché nel progetto è previsto un centro commerciale e una percentuale di edilizia residenziale, che sorgerà a tre chilometri dal’impianto. Il centro commerciale prevede ristoranti, negozi, un outlet molto fornito. L’area, che si estende su 150 ettari all’altezza della località Massimina, è di proprietà dell’immobiliarista Scarpellini, è già stata bloccata. Ci sarà grande rispetto per l’ambiente, la percentuale di cemento rispetto al verde sarà di 0,3. Nell’area dell’impianto sono previsti anche centri sportivi, piscina e un laghetto artificiale. La zona è classificata come terreno agricolo non di pregio e non è sottoposta a vincoli particolari. E’ stata studiata nei minimi dettagli anche la viabilità per il nuovo stadio. Ci sarà un treno monorotaia per collegare l’impianto alla metropolitana. E’ previsto l’ampliamento della linea che oggi arriva a via Mattia Battistini. I parcheggi sono previsti a cento metri dall’ingresso dello stadio. I tempi di realizzazione previsti si aggireranno intorno ai quattro anni.

La presentazione del progetto, annunciata inizialmente per la scorsa settimana, ha subito uno slittamento. Ma tutto è pronto e sono stati informati il sindaco di Roma, Alemanno e il presidente della Regione, Marrazzo. L’ufficializzazione del nuovo impianto avverrà quanto prima, è questione di giorni. Intanto continuano le riunioni dei tecnici che hanno lavorato al progetto. Il nuovo stadio è al primo posto dei pensieri del presidente Rosella Sensi. Un punto fermo per il futuro.

I translate some important points:

54500 seats, stadium will be realized in NW of Rome (district Massimina) and will be linked to metro by monorail. Cost of stadium will be 300 milions of €. inside stadium there will be restaurants, shops and a fan shop. Around parkings and a little lake.

Project will be showed next 29th september at 11.00

BTW, Stadium Delle Aquile is not the name of Rome stadium, but Lazio one.

Aquile (eagles) is the symbol of Lazio:

http://i36.tinypic.com/5jz3tt.png

It's sad that they have the stadium outside of the city.

But who cares... Merda Roma. Forza Lazio!

can roma really afford 300 million euros?

can roma really afford 300 million euros?

The project is to build houses to finance the stadium. So selling houses will paid the stadium.

^^ What about stadium naming rights? I mean, surely this is another way they could finance the new stadium?

You sing songs about your home stadium, you identify yourself with your home stadium.

You dont identify yourself with the chest of your players. :)
