Milan and Inter stadium project takes next step

The details of the new San Siro stadium project presented by Milan and Inter show changes to the previous plan, with a 60,000-seater arena over 100,000 square metres of greenery.

The local council has given the all-clear to begin public debate over the reformed project, with changes based on the previous feasibility study.

Both Milan and Inter accepted the demands from the local authorities to make adjustments to the original proposal.

The new Stadio di Milano is set to be a 60,000-seater stadium with integrated functionality including restaurants, bars, shops and hospitality areas.

The reconfiguration of the area of the city known as San Siro will also see over 100,000 square metres of greenery, of which 65 per cent will be suited to sport and play.

The current plan is to knock down the existing Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and build a new arena not directly on top, but in the area that is currently the adjacent car park.

It is still only at the stage of starting public debate, so is a very long way off being given the all-clear, let alone starting construction.
