Inter and AC Milan unveil new stadium plans
Milan: Inter and AC Milan unveiled their new “Generali Stadium” Thursday, which will replace the iconic San Siro stadium from the 2031-32 season.
Milan's Inter and AC Milan have revealed their plans for a new stadium named the Generali Stadium, set to replace the historic San Siro from the 2031-32 season. The structure, designed by architect Norman Foster, will boast a low body that rises at the ends behind the goals. The stands, positioned at a steep 37-degree angle, will bring spectators incredibly close to the pitch.
This innovation aims to create an intimate atmosphere, making spectators feel as though they are sitting on the grass. Acoustics was another key consideration: the roof over the stands will leave the pitch exposed while amplifying the fans' roar. The stadium, sponsored by Italian insurer Generali, can also host American football, rugby, and concerts.
AC Milan and Inter paid 197 million euros for the current stadium and its parking areas, with the new stadium's construction budgeting 1.2 billion euros. The project, which will reduce San Siro's capacity from 75,000 to 71,500 seats, will commence in 2028, with the demolition of the old stadium imminent.
