Scaroni outlines why Milan need stadium and 'two reasons' San Siro could not be renovated
"In the area currently occupied by the Meazza, we will build a hotel, a small shopping centre, and we will house the headquarters of Milan and Inter. We will also place the museums of the two teams and create a sports area next to the new stadium. I have always described the San Siro area as a desolate wasteland, in the sense that I consider it an area that is either too empty or too full:"
"On Wednesday afternoon, a press release from Milan and Inter confirmed that the current San Siro has passed into the hands of the two clubs. It is the first big step in the stadium project, with the new 71,500-seater stadium set to begin construction in 2027 ahead of opening in 2031. In a recent feature we outlined why this is such an important moment in the plans of the two clubs and what the next steps are."
AC Milan and Inter have taken ownership of the current San Siro site and plan a new 71,500-seat stadium, with construction starting in 2027 and opening in 2031. The clubs expect the new venue and surrounding development to increase annual revenue by roughly €100m. The Meazza area will be redeveloped with a hotel, small shopping centre, club headquarters, museums, and a sports area to promote daily activity, restaurants, and entertainment. Paolo Scaroni said renovating the existing stadium was not viable because it would prevent achieving the clubs' ambition for the most beautiful stadium in Europe and because renovation would be impractical while two teams share the venue during league and cup competitions.
