Milan and Inter have reportedly agreed to demolish San Siro, but their plans could be scuppered by a local referendum.
The existing stadium would be demolished once work on a new, 60,000-seater venue is completed.
Milan and Inter have reportedly agreed to demolish San Siro, but their plans could be scuppered by a local referendum.
The existing stadium would be demolished once work on a new, 60,000-seater venue is completed.
However, Milan News reports the idea has ‘sparked revolt’, to the extent that a citizen referendum could be passed on the issue.
Pietro Tatarella, a representative of the Forza Italia political party, has already warned that he will try to raise the 15,000 signatures necessary to trigger a vote once both clubs formally announce their plans to bring down San Siro.
“It’s not just a stadium, but also one of the most recognisable symbols in the city,” argued Tatarella.
