New Stadium

[cozzi]

San mean Saint in Italian. Its a bit like St James' Park at Newcastle. So San Siro is just some old holy Italian bloke

 

[Ehsan]

Our stadium has two names, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and Stadio San Siro.

San Siro means Saint Syrus... there are a couple of them in Italian history. This was the original name since the stadium was inaugurated in 1925, and was based on a nearby church with the same name.

In 1980, after Giuseppe Meazza passed away, the stadium was renamed in his honour. (You DO know who Giuseppe Meazza is, right?!)

Interesting tidbit from Wikipedia: "Although Giuseppe Meazza played for both Internazionale and AC Milan, he enjoyed more success at Inter and is more favoured by the Inter faithful; as a result, Milan fans favour the term San Siro for the ground."

I didn't actually know that, and more often said "San Siro". I say we insist on calling it the official name, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, and let the name San Siro fade away in honour of one of the greatest INTER players (and to spite the AC Milan fans)

Well, Milano siamo noi

Stadio Giacinto Facchetti!

Yesterday Moratti talked about thousands of things, the most interesting though, in my opinion, have to be this.

Quote:
"A mention also on the idea of a new stadium. "The whole look is at an advanced stage. We have identified the area where to build."
Does anyone have something more about it?

Lol!! San Siro should not pass the "test" for 5-stars!

- Individual seats with backrest: Not all, but at least-> (Venues that still have individual seats without proper backrests will still continue to be accepted. In the future, however, closer attention will be paid to this aspect, and which will influence the committee’s decision regarding the addition of venues to these list categories.)

- First-rate dressing-rooms for both teams and the referees (equal size and furnishings for both teams, spacious, bright and clean).

If what I saw at the San Siro is first-rate, then my house is very luxurious

Protective fences around the field of play are not acceptable. Venues which have such installations will not be included on the list.

Isn't there a huge net on each side behind the goals to prevent items from reaching the pitch?

Anyway

There is a net in the 3rd tier on both Curvas Nord and Sud, and a ditch according to inter.it on the sides

 

[Karim]

It would be difficult to construct such a magniicant place once again because this San Siro has a certain arouma, a certain taste in the air, difficult for me to move

 

[Karim]

Quick qestion, ever since last season and the teams playing in the san siro always go on the pitch in from the gate in the center rather than the one at the cprner of the curva nord?
Why the sudden change?

 

[Forza ragazzi]

I actually think they did that to avoid having too many items thrown at the players.

 

[cloudq]

i think maybe they should have 2 lawns that they can introduce for each side

 

[Karim]

It was special when the players came out of the curva nord

 

[Marcello]

Attendance for opposing teams this season has been really low the opposite side from the curva looks dull as watch the “inter - samp comeback” game and look for the samp fans it makes the atmosphere look crazy we need serie a back to its best again

**** wrong thread

Inter and rest of italy to build new stadiums!!!

http://www.italian-calcio.com/#/italianclubsplannewstadia/4529193207

This is huge for italian football

Inter have been lookin at building a new one for ages ..... anyone have some images of what it could look like ... thnaks

 

[rockball]

A welcome decision. Italy surely needs better stadiums. Unless that happens, Serie A standard won't improve and the gap with other leagues will keep increasing.

Hope to see some nice stadia in 3-4 years.

As for the Inter stadium, it would be named Stadio Giacinto Facchetti. I guess no images would be available until the location is decided.

 

[Pajo]

There is a thread about new stadium, no need of this one, i think both should be merged...

 

[cloudq]

i think games should be priced according to projected turnout

obviously big games would be sold out normally

but games against smaller teams should be discounted to make it more affordable and attractive to the average fan to attend

 

[Nerazzurro]

There has been talk of Inter looking into getting a new stadium in time for the 2015 Expo, therefore looking to switch after 2012.

This is quoted from La Stampa last month:

"L’Inter ha intenzione di costruire uno stadio da 60 mila posti con strutture commerciali, alberghiere e di ristorazione. Moratti ha capito che l’effetto-Juventus, la prospettiva bianconera di incassare oltre 30 milioni a stagione dalla gestione del nuovo impianto, provocherà in alta quota un «pericoloso» precedente. Da qui l’ipotesi concreta di una scissione fra i due club di Milano, separazione che potrebbe, presto, riguardare anche la Capitale."

Inter has the intention of building a 60,000 seat stadium with commercial buildings, hotels and restaurants. Moratti has understood the Rubentus effect, the prospective merdanere gains of 30+ million per season from their new stadium, will provoke a dangerous precendence. This is the solid step for a potential separation of the two clubs of Milan, a separation that could also happen in the capital.

There was another article I read, a few days ago that went into a little bit more detail, i'll try to find it.

I wonder what they would call the stadium?

Stadio G. Facchetti?

Has a nice ring to it.


EDIT:

Ahh I found it:

http://www.repubblica.it/2008/05/sezioni/sport/calcio/nuovi-stadi/nuovi-stadi/nuovi-stadi.html

L'Inter, invece, ha segnalato al Credito sportivo la sua volontà di trasloco dal Meazza e ha individuato diverse soluzioni: un lotto da un milione di metri quadrati a Rozzano, proprietà della famiglia Cabassi, e poi un'area vicina al futuro Expo 2015.

Inter, instead has expressed its desire to transfer from the Meazza and has presented a few solutiong: A piece of land of a million square metres at Rozzano (a couple of miles south of the centre of Milan, a bit on the outskirts), property of the Cabassi family, an area near the 2015 Expo.

19 clubs in Italy is considering building new stadiums, mostly Serie A clubs, a couple of Serie B clubs.

I read that Moratti already had a location to build on ~6 months ago.

 

[Nerazzurro]

Might be that site I mentioned.

 

[brehme1989]

I'm begining to change my mind on this. I think that we should actually go for it. The San Siro is a football temple, our temple, but other than a great feeling in a match, it does not give the club the advantages it should. I'm pretty sure that a new stadium will give us a similar feeling in games and it would also give us financial benefits. I hope that Milan will use the San Siro, as it's a stadium that I love, and I wouldn't mind going to watch games there(Milan-Inter most probably of course!)

 

[rockball]

I love San Siro too but w have to realise to keep up with the other leagues we have to improve on the stadia. German clubs are now buying Italian players FFS.
