Inter and AC Milan have unveiled plans for a new stadium, dubbed the Generali Stadium, which is intended to replace the historic San Siro. The proposed arena will have a capacity of 71,500 and is scheduled to be completed in 2031, ahead of its use during the 2032 UEFA European Football Championship. Designed by architectural firms Foster + Partners and Manica, the stadium will feature an oval shape with a triangular facade inspired by the Duomo di Milano. The exterior will be equipped with LED lighting capable of changing colors and displaying imagery. The design includes two tiers of seating, with the curves of the stands set at a 37-degree incline to maintain a sense of proximity to the pitch. The project includes a surrounding complex featuring a museum, hotel, retail spaces, and green areas. The stadium will be built on a base containing underground parking, and the clubs aim to increase hospitality capacity from approximately 3,000 to 13,000 seats. According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, the naming rights agreement with the insurance company Generali is valued at approximately 650 million euros over 20 years. During UEFA competitions, the venue will be referred to as the Milano Stadium. The two clubs anticipate that the new facility will generate approximately 120 million euros in combined annual revenue. The current San Siro, which opened in 1926 and is often referred to as "La Scala del calcio," is slated for demolition following the 2032 tournament. Plans indicate that only the southwest tower and portions of two seating sections will be preserved as a landmark. The decision to replace the stadium has drawn mixed reactions, with players and fans noting the iconic status of the existing structure, known for its steep stands and unique acoustic properties.
