lol what a comment, around 20 years ago they were averaging 40,000 in the same terrible stadiums, television is the problem, they haven't had the churn the premier league has had, new fans replacing old. New stadiums might help this!

Is what it there a plans of building to make a basket arèna bugger some years?

Lol, you have no clue.
The real reason is stadiums are public owned so no club puts money into them. Hopefully things are changing though, and in the next few years we'll see private stadiums in this country as well (Inter FC, Roma, Juventus, Sampdoria etc.).

Fiorentina's owner, Della Valle, just presented to the press the new project for a huge entertainment park, in which there will be the new stadium of Fiorentina too.

The project has a lot of chances to be built.

At the moment, they're finding a good location for the complex, in the suburbs of Florence.

Here some renderings:

[www.sercan.de]

looks like ~30,000-35,000

[TohrAlkimista]

46.000 seats.

[mihai_alex]

Is it just me,but does this look horrid?
It's just like a 2 year old came up with it.

[TohrAlkimista]

It is very cool. It's a huge glass-cover, like a giant cloud.

The project is designed by Fuksas.

His works with glass are usually amazing.

Then the complex is very interesting with some museums, theme parks etc etc...

That is awful I really don't like it. Is it just me or is every new stadium proposal in Europe getting more and more over the top in terms of exterior design, I think someone needs to tell the architects that they are designing a sports arena not an art museum. It's like it's a competition for making the most over the top exterior, it started with the Allianz Arena and ever since then we have been seeing more and more stadiums coming up with a wacko design, don't get me wrong most look alright it's just getting a bit ridiculous now that every new stadium is having an exterior like this and it's even more disappointing when you see the interior where it tends to look like they have copied 15 designs before hand and have put little or no effort into it.
I think Fiorentina should be ambitious and go for a 50,000 capacity, after all they got an average attendance of 30,000+ last season and in a new stadium attendances would go up by at least 10,000 possibly 15,000, this would allow greater revenue.

Thats one of the reason why i like the new GS more.
For me stadiums is "playing field surrouned by stands".
So the stands are IMO much more important. Actually they are the place od the "user". The fans etc.

Nearly every new project just show the outside. Sometimes you do not have 1-2 interior pics.

Inter to leave San Siro as Moratti orders new stadium

MILAN, 15 October 2008 - Massimo Moratti is no doubt going to be the brains behind Inter's big move. Approval of his plans for the club's very own stadium is just around the corner. After careful examination and meticulous planning, the financial backing should confirmed by the end of the year, even by early December. Then, all going well, the Nerazzurri will be pensioning off San Siro from the 2012-2013 season.

MODELS - The exact location of the new stadium is a secret Moratti is very carefully guarding, even though fingers are already pointing at the Rho-Pero area, very close to the motorway and with good underground connections (red line). This is where the Olympic stadium would have been erected if Milan had won its bid for the 2000 Olympics. Moratti doesn't want to build a white elephant and the fact that Milan has been named as the Expo 2015 location will help him considerably in this regard, whatever the site finally picked. The plan at Inter headquarters is to build a 60,000 seater stadium along the lines of Ajax's ground (Amsterdam Arena, UEFA 5-star with seating for more than 50,000) and Bayern Munich's (Allianz Arena, 5-star plus with seating for almost 70,000 spectators). More specifically, the model Massimo Moratti's men seem to be more taken with is the Bavarian team's home ground: a multi-functional complex with restaurants (from upmarket establishments to self service eateries and traditional pubs), a shopping gallery and even a day-care centre to "park" children not that interested in the match. There are three main areas (entry depending on the ticket purchased): private business stands, VIP area and stands for the crowds.

I didn't know an English version of Gazzetta was available. Great stuff.

I read in quite a few newspapers this week that not only Lazio but also Roma is planning a new stadium. Anyone has more infos about it?

[www.sercan.de]

What would happen to Olimpico?

[PaulFCB]

They would leave it 100% for the National Team and Cup Final taking the example of Wembley from England.

[lpioe]

Yeah, + concerts etc.

The source of all the news was corriere dello sport, but I can't find anything about it on their website, nor on the Roma website...
All I remember was that it will be on the outskirts of the city and it will be named after a former Roma player, so no sponser name.

Speaking of tear gas, many South Korean people including myself who had been students at universities in the 80s had a kind of nostalia for that. At that time, anti-government demonstrations by students happened in nearly all universities of South Korea every day. And the result? Yes, no demonstrations ever ended up with no tear bombs by the police.

Tear gases were everwhere inside the campus after a demonstration and they were immediately replaced by anothere gases because another demonstration followed right the next day. Conclusion : You could smell tear gases in university campuses all year long in the 80s! Hahaha...

I admit my ignorance about unrest in South Korea, so I don't know the purposes you were demonstrating for, but I suppose it was for noble ideas. Breathing tear gases 'cause a bunch of idiots want to punch up each other just because they support two different teams of running men in underwear is quite an irritating thing, for me.
