"Why the shared stadium? Because it's a unique foundation, history speaks for itself: both AC Milan and Inter played at San Siro for decades. Milan is AC Milan and Inter, and it's logical to continue this journey because both have visionary ideas."
"Today, the required standards are no longer met: it's only natural that we need to build a stadium that represents modern standards, in terms of safety, attendance, and hospitality. The stadium must be seen as a facility that can be enjoyed 24/7: San Siro no longer meets these requirements, it's getting older."
"Numbers matter: in the last 20 years, 250 new stadiums have been built in Europe, and only five of them in Italy. We are at the bottom of the list in this regard; the facilities are problematic."
Inter president Beppe Marotta discussed the clubs' plans for a new San Siro stadium shared with AC Milan. Both clubs faced pressure from UEFA to upgrade their facilities or find alternative venues. Rather than split and build separate stadiums, Milan and Inter decided to jointly purchase San Siro and construct a modern replacement. Marotta emphasized that the current stadium is obsolete and fails to meet contemporary standards for safety, attendance, and hospitality. He highlighted that San Siro must be preserved as an icon while building a facility meeting 24/7 modern requirements. Marotta also noted Italy's inefficiency in stadium development, with only five new stadiums built in the country over the last 20 years compared to 250 across Europe.
