How to avoid the demolition of San Siro? AC and Inter are exploring the possibility of a new stadium project and saving the old one

What does the future hold for the famous San Siro? That is one big question at the moment, but AC and Inter are doing their best to ensure that the stadium does not succumb to demolition. In fact, there is one project on the horizon that could mean the green light for the construction of a new stadium while saving the old one.

The well-known Football Italia website has come out with information in the last few hours that the two Milanese clubs are reportedly exploring an alternative project for a new stadium that would allow them to avoid the demolition of San Siro.

This is because AC and Inter have been stuck in the clutches of the Italian bureaucracy in recent months and have been unable to make any real progress in their search for a new stadium due to the public debate over the possible demolition of the iconic stadium.

As a result, based on the latest information, the clubs are now working on a parallel project with the Milan City Hall, according to which a new stadium would be built on the site of the former Snai horse races.

Football Italia also reports that the 75-hectare site is owned by the Fcma Group, a company owned by Federico Consolandi.

The latter has reportedly already expressed interest in selling the land for redevelopment. Moreover, in recent weeks there have already been discussions between the two Milanese clubs, the municipality, the mayor, Beppe Sala, and the Fcma Group.

This project as an ideal alternative?

So, if the aforementioned project really works out, one could say that it would be a hit and miss for both AC and Inter. Why?

First of all, the new stadium would be built only about 1.5 kilometres from the existing shrine. And secondly, the new stadium would be built on private land. It would therefore avoid the various debates about building on public land.

But then what about San Siro? What is certain is that the stadium would have remained public and owned by the municipality. The problem, however, would be that without the two football clubs, the stadium would remain unused, and would only be a cost item for the municipality.

So what the future of San Siro will be is still uncertain. What is certain, however, is that both clubs are doing their utmost to ensure that it is not demolished without mercy.

It should be added, Asm Global, a company that handles major events and stadium management around the world, could offer a lifeline to the city.
