There is good news for Milan and Inter, as it’s reported the local council has approved the latest version of the Stadio di Milano proposal to replace the Stadio Meazza.
The project has been through many different drafts in recent years, with the two clubs still eager to share the costs and revenue of a single arena.
According to Calcio e Finanza, the council has given the all-clear to the latest version of the proposal, which was handed in on September 5.
That will now be sent to the national commission for public debate, they will have to give the all-clear before it can then be debated in the city of Milan.
The proposal improved the last version by providing 50,000 square metres of nature to break up the landscape.
It also reinforces the structure of a sporting district, known as the Cittadella dello Sport, and access to underground parking close to the stadium.
Wow this article is why Serie a is having so many issues so much bureaucracy. I feel so bad for young Italians way too much bureaucracy and it keeps investment and innovation from happening look at what happened with Romes stadium. Politicians really need to create a better environment for business and innovation. This will move at snail pace. Will be lucky to open by 2030
how much capacity ?
For the good of the game, this needs to happen. But wow are Italian councils slow. Takes forever to make any decision. The fast Italian clubs can own their own stadia, the faster Italian football can rebuild.
Stefan.
So it’s your belief that the people of the city and those directly effected not be allowed to debate the development, and or ask questions?
Fatecisognare
San siro is one of 24 5 star stadiums in Europe. But you wouldn’t know that as you’ve never been.
The councils own the stadiums, and lease them to the clubs, and the councils are in charge of granting the planning permission to build new stadiums. The clubs only hope is to do what Milan and Inter have attempted and threaten to leave the council area.
Ricky.
Which will never happen given the link of both clubs to local schools, and children’s teams, award winning charities, and sustainability initiatives.
What is san siro missing? Nothing. Great transport links, children and family friendly, disabled people friendly, abundance of food and drink inside and outside the stadium, club shops, security and of course for those finer things in life – amazing hospitality suites as well. Also. The greatest atmosphere any stadium can hope for.
Italy will keep losing til they have new politicians who will allow the clubs to build.
No wonder Italian football has fell so far behind. The clubs there are unable to compete with those in other leagues for so many reasons and to this point there earnings from gate receipts could never be maximised as if they were d owners of their stadium. The winner here is d councils. Think about d revenue a club cud generate by being able to rent a stadia out for different events. Which in turns increased d club revenue stream. Italian football would never be able to capitalise on TV rights from there football and chief reason is d infrastructure of d stadiums which d councils wud never maintain at a level of d rest European clubs bcuz they won’t receive d profits tv rights can generate for clubs there. It is so sad poor Ricky can’t seed light lol.
Is this any surprise considering Italy would never be allowed to host a WC. The infrastructure is the same as in 1990. They should worry more about their energy issues as they cannot even afford to keep the lights on. But the clown is a traditional candle lighter and nostalgic for tales from the 1600 BC.
@Rosario Actually I’ve been twice because I used to work in Bergamo and watched Verona several times too. Yes, San Siro is an excellent stadium but the council makes all the money. That’s the problem. They hold the clubs to ransom and don’t want to lose revenue if the clubs own the stadia.
@Rosario you are one delusional Italian fan
