They were banned from the San Siro. It might have just been the one game though. I can't remeber the year, but it was about 10 years ago. Inter done the same as well.

This kind of stadium should be built more in Italy (in larger version for the big clubs however).

Much better than 95% of the Serie A stadiums!

Hi,

Any 1 got any pics of the revamped Stadio Comunale, plus I heard that the Stadio delle Alpi is going to get a make over next season. Any one got any images of what the Stadio delle Alpi is going to look like after work has finished.

One of the designer of this web is one of the architects of the future Juve Stadium, Angelo Spampinato.

I'd like to get info and pics of the new Juve training complex (MondoJuve). Maybe somebody in this forums can help me.

Apologies if already posted.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed that the Rossoneri plan to leave their Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.

The stadium, built in 1926 by Piero Pirelli for Milan, is also the home to city-rivals Internazionale and it is after one of their former players Giuseppe Meazza that the ground is named after.

Galliani has now confirmed that Milan plan to relocate away from the San Siro-based arena.

Great news ! Let them play somewhere outside Milano in a stadium named after a big sponsor... or will they call it 'Stadio Berlusconi' ?

Finally Inter will play in its very own Guiseppe Meazza

Wrong, because Inter is also planning to build it's own stadium in a quarter called Bovisa, so that at the moment nobody knows what is the future of the Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Stadium.

If this is a serious proposal and not politcal games then I'd expect the new stadium to be larger than the Schalke Arena.

AC Milans average attendance has been over 60K in recent years(much higher than that for Inter/Juve games I'd imagine) so I find it hard to believe they'd build a ground much smaller than that. As far as I'm aware Italian clubs are not allowed to have standing room so to achieve the same capacity the Schalke Arena has for league games it would need to be larger.

I think this is not a serious proposal: it's a game to buy San Siro stadium at a cheaper price

Infact both Inter and Milan are now contracting with Milano municipality, which is San Siro owner, to buy the stadium together
Since the beggining either Massimo Moratti (Inter owner) either Adriano Galliani (Milan vice-president) affirmed they wanted to build a new soccer stadium for their teams... I think this is a suspect behaviour
And not only this: Inter commissioned an evaluation of San Siro to Pirelli Real Estate which estimated the stadium value is many many less than the one required by municipality.
Do you know who is Inter main sponsor since more than ten years? Pirelli of course!
Infact its evaluation of San Siro is ridiculous

In all this there is a problem more: San Siro is not UEFA omologated
There is a project, called Quarto Anello (means Fourth Ring, but it's not really a ring of seats added to the third one), that planned a radical refurbishment of San Siro, to omologate it and to create a sort of "soccer park" all around the stadium, with many facilities and other venues where to buy, eat, play several sport games...
The project is in collaboration with Inter F.C. and Milan A.C. and it's subordinated to San Siro sale; municipality hasn't the money for this project 'cause it tought they were the two teams to co-finance it
Now what will happen with this project: if in few years they won't complete UEFA omologation yet San Siro could face a bann from European competions and Milan and Inter could have to play in other cities European Cups matches

[MoreOrLess]

I remember when this came up before either you or another italian poster pointed this out aswell. What exactly was/is the "forth ring" project going to entail? The main grevance they seemed to have before was lack of falicites, the only way I could see that being changed was if the exterior of the stadium was rebuilt as more of a wall rather than an overhang.
