AC Milan and Inter unveil plans for 71,500-seat Generali Stadium
The stadium is planned as part of a 281,000m² redevelopment, with construction scheduled to begin in 2028.
AC Milan and Inter Milan have unveiled the first detailed designs for a new stadium, Generali Stadium, which will serve as their shared home. The announcement was made on October 29th, signaling a major step towards replacing San Siro. The stadium, part of a broader urban redevelopment project, is set to be built in collaboration with insurance and asset management group Generali.
With a capacity of approximately 71,500 spectators, the stadium's design incorporates elements of Milan's identity and architectural traditions. Foster + Partners and MANICA are leading the architectural vision, aiming to create an atmosphere that enhances fan experience and accessibility. The stadium will feature a concrete X-frame structure, a double-curved roof with solar panels, and improved acoustics and sustainability measures.
The proposed bowl-shaped seating is designed to provide optimal viewing and fan engagement, with steep stands at either end to maintain the passion of supporters from both Milanese sides. The development will also form a 281,000m² mixed-use district, integrating public parks, retail, leisure facilities, and other amenities. The clubs expect the new stadium to host its first match in the 2031/32 season, pending necessary approvals.
