Oh, are we still holding out hope this actually gets done? I gave up all hope on this after all the arrests.
Well if I start shoveling then maybe more people will join me and eventually every Roma fan will help and eventually a movement will start and the stadium will be built. At least that’s what happens in the movies.

You have to give Pallotta some credit. He doesn't give up easy..... I understand this is the most important project for the club and he will stand to make a lot of money once the stadium is completed and he finally sells Roma.
Maybe he wont sell for a long time. He sees to have fallen for the club. I'm ok with that, hes a cool guy. (Spoken by a European, in case Lord Nelly gets triggered)
The idea that Pallotta would sell the club once the stadium is built has always been conjecture by that element of the fanbase that do not like him. He has never indicated any intention to sell - other than if the stadium doesn't get built.
I think it will be a long time until someone would meet his valuation anyway. The stadium project alone is going to be around a billion. The initial takeover was 400 million, and they've put a lot more money into the club since then. Unless they find a way to sell the club and stadium separately, it would be a record breaking level price.
You just can't make this stuff up. So after the stadium received it's "final approval" the start is thrown into question because of the arrests. Now apparently the approval wasn't final there are still questions about traffic flow and who is paying for the infrastructure needed. This is why most of the stadiums in Serie A look like crap on television compared to EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga. That stadium is never going to get built. http://www.forzaroma.info/rassegna-...per-superare-il-nodo-dello-stadio-della-roma/
This Italian bureaucracy is beyond ridiculous, especially since politicians are also constantly getting in the way. In their "flourishing" economy, is no one interested in creating jobs? The politicians in my country would've flown to US on daily basis to kiss Pallotta's ass only to be able to repeat to the media how they are creating opportunities for the people.
Heck, even here in the US if a team owner would have proposed building a stadium with their own money (most here are financed to some degree with taxpayer money) the city/state would have thrown them a ticker-tape parade, built him a statue and approved it in a week. Only Italy
New allegations of illegal financing. Just sad. http://www.forzaroma.info/news-as-r...-anche-la-posizione-del-tesoriere-della-lega/
#StadiodellaRoma, #Raggi: "Barring a disaster, the stadium will move forward."https://t.co/AWDHP5jbya— RomaPress (@ASRomaPress) October 7, 2018
There are glaciers that could outpace Stadio Della Roma when it comes to moving forwards, or anywhere really. If they were spending 1bil. in my country to build said stadium, all they've needed doing would've been pissing on the four corners of the field to mark the land as theirs, and the damn prime minister would've started carrying the concrete buckets on his back to speed the building process and his "We've created 1 000 000 jobs" speech.
Pallotta should invest into a "Loading..." sing for the site. He'd make much gold from people taking pictures with it.
LOL... even in the US if an owner of a sports team was building a new stadium with his own money they'd throw him a parade. The taxpayers always pick up a big chunk of the bill. Only in Italy can a guy willing to spend 100s of millions of his own money to create jobs be given this much grief.
yea but then she qualified it by saying .... 'we will proceed making the necessary changes." How the hell was it given a (final) green light if there are changes. I still maintain this thing is a decade or more away and JP will have given up long before then.
the first post on this thread was January 11, 2012. Here we are, almost 9 years later and still ZERO progress. That is just sad.
... actually 7 years but still your point is spot on. Honestly, if it gets done I've always thought 10-15 years at least. Like I said, I remember when my dad wanted to remodel a bathroom it took 3 years or so just to get the town to ok that. I remember back in the 70s and 80s they were planning a bridge across the straight of Messina (from Calabria to Sicily).. here we are 40 years on and still no bridge. Italy has so much potential to be much more than it is, but their antiquated political system prevents any progress and they languish behind.
