New Italian Stadium Update Thread

Inter and Milan 'optimistic' on stadium
By Football Italia staff

​

Inter and Milan “are working together and are very optimistic on the new stadium project” after a meeting with the local authorities.

Despite the Mayor of Milan offering to sell the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to the two clubs for restructuring, both Serie A giants agreed that the problems within the arena simply go too deep.

It’d be cheaper and more cost-efficient to build a whole new stadium, which would still be in the San Siro area.

“We are working together with Milan and are very optimistic on the new stadium project,” Inter general manager Alessandro Antonello told reporters.

“The meeting went very well and I think it’ll all end up just fine.”

The President of the local authority who attended the meeting, Lamberto Bertolè, confirmed “the clubs put forward their reasons for the project and their proposal. At the same time, the councillors had the opportunity to indicate the issues that are of interest to the council.

“In about a week, we will call the first commissions to present the project, go into the urban transport issues and discuss if it is in the public interest.

“As soon as that journey is concluded, we will progress to the next phase, but want everything to be done with the clear focus on the best interests of the city and its people.”

 

No. If there is another stadium, the San Siro is virtually useless. But the land will be used to develop something else

 

What it says is that both Inter and Milan are against the renovation of the San Siro because the upgrades would be so major, they would have to play away from the stadium for four seasons. And in the end, the capacity would be reduced. But they did not go into specifics of why it would take so long.

 

Milan and Inter fans need to let go of the San Siro. Yes it is a historic building, but you have an opportunity to make a new state of the art theater. Do you think Atleti fans miss the Vincente Calderon now that they have this:

 

There are only two firms in the running now for the new Milan stadium project; American company Populous and Italian American Manica-Progetto.

The Populous proposal will be inspired by the Duomo and galleria Vittorio Emanuele. It will be a cathedral of "glass and light". The other project will be a more traditional look. Both of them revealed on the 27th

Rigamonti from the weekend. Compared to what it was, a nice change. Doesn't look so bad on tv. But not something a city like Brescia deserves

 

Two photos of the new Milan project have leaked. No better rendering exists at this time

 

Update from Bergamo:





The curva is almost complete. And Atalanta will be allowed to play there next month. I don't know when work will continue

In the meantime Fiorentina have also presented their proposal for the restyling of the Franchi. Note how similar it is to the Milan stadium design. @falvo @NickyViola

'Council won't boycott new San Siro'
By Football Italia staff

​

Milan mayor Beppe Sala has assured that he is fully behind the idea of a new San Siro. “I’ve decided to put aside my nostalgia and passion.”

Sala had previously been cold on the idea of Milan and Inter building a new stadium to replace San Siro, but he has now come around.

“I’m not boycotting the construction of a new stadium and I’ve decided to put aside my nostalgia and passion for San Siro because, otherwise, I wouldn’t be a good mayor,” he told ANSA.

“I’ll only want the rules to be respected, how much will be built and how. The environmental impact will certainly play a crucial part.”

 

More pics of the Artemio Franchi upgrade have hit the web









Interior of the stadium would look excellent. The roof seen from the outside is horrid @NickyViola
