AC Milan intend to build their own stadium and it seems the area has been chosen for the project. In fact, new meetings have been held in the last few days, with the €1bn project now moving forward.
As reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta Dello Sport, Milan are more and more keen on building their new stadium in San Donato. The area, for reasons explained below, is perfect and the Rosoneribhave now also separated themselves from Inter.
The San Francesco area is the one in question, which lies within San Donato. The area is well-connected by not just the metro but also the train, and the highway makes for easy access by car. Furthermore, Linate airport is very close which is good for those travelling from abroad.
Yesterday, as the report continues, CAA ICON – Milan’s consultants for the stadium – had a meeting with the city council of San Donato. The latter were fascinated by the idea and expressed their support, even if a feasibility study must be carried out too.
For Cardinale and his team, the stadium project will require hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of contracts, attachments, and articles. This process could thus take a couple of years, before starting the actual work in the area.
The whole project will cost around €1bn and Cardinale believes this is a necessary step for Milan. Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich’s home, is located in a similar are and will be a great source of inspiration for Milan in their pursuit.
The San Francesco area is the first thing you encounter when you travel to Milan from the south. The naming rights for the stadium, as Allianz with Bayern, could thus be a hot commodity and that’s another positive with the area.
Finally, the area is privately owned and has always been meant to be of sporting use.
