🇮🇹 Milan: The Cathedral instead of San Siro (Stadium News)

AC Milan and Inter Milan have revealed the final design of the new stadium. “The Cathedral” design of the American studio Populous was chosen. However, some activists and fans are protesting against the construction of the new venue and the demolition of Stadio San Siro.

Over the years, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza has hosted four Champions League finals as well as World Cup matches in two tournaments. The countdown will stop in 2026, at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, because later the historical venue is to be almost completely demolished. Two Milan clubs just boasted about what their new stadium called “The Cathedral” will look like.

The arena will seat over 65,000 spectators and will be built on a rectangular plan. Its design refers to two of the most famous buildings in Milan: the Duomo di Milano cathedral and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.

The stadium will be surrounded by vertical fins. The structure created in this way will support the glass facade, which will enclose a space called a "sunlit galleria" by the designers. The stands are designed with fans placed as close to the pitch as possible.
