Inter and Milan have revealed the full plan for the new Generali stadium, as the insurance company won the bidding for the naming rights to it, which will be built on the same site as the current stadium. Football and Finance reports.
Once the new arena is complete, the Giuseppe Meazza will be almost completely demolished. A small part of it will live as a museum and shop. Forster + Partners and MANICA designed it. It will be financed by the American funds RedBird Capital and Oaktree, which control the two clubs.
The Generali stadium will be bowl-shaped and will be inspired by Italian engineering and the architectural style of the city. It will have a cement X-shaped structure and a distinctive outer column. The LEDs will light up depending on who is playing. There will be 71,500 seats, including 11,000 premium seats on two levels. Curvas will have a 37 percent angle like the Westfalenstadion. Acoustics will increase the noise of the fans.
The two clubs will earn €16 million annually over the next ten years from naming rights in the richest deal of its kind in Italy alone. The project also involves the regeneration of the entire neighborhood and will be environmentally friendly.
Initially working on two separate projects on the outskirts of the city, Inter and Milan eventually merged after Oaktree took over the former. They patiently worked through hurdles and moved past appeals and reservations to reach an agreement with the local authorities. The goal is for the Generali stadium to be ready for the 2031/2032 season and one of the hosts for the Euros, which will be held jointly in Italy and Turkey.
