Gerry Cardinale is keen on getting AC Milan a new stadium and in the last few weeks, he has accelerated the matter. In fact, the American is ready to become the first to win a certain challenge in Italy.
Milan have been working on the stadium project for several years, long before Cardinale entered the picture, but it’s safe to say that the RedBird man has taken the matter to a new level. From La Maura to Sesto, Milan are now well prepared.
Speaking to MilanNews, Gazzetta Dello Sport journalist and Milan correspondent Luca Bianchin shared his thoughts on the stadium pursuit. He stated that Cardinale is eager to do what no one has been able to pull off in Italy.
“It’s an equation with so many variables, the kind that drove you crazy at school: each area has so many variables to check that the deadline has moved a bit towards the end of the season. An initial decision had to be made in March on La Maura, but the problems seem to be more than the advantages. Something is needed to unblock the La Maura situation at a political level, otherwise, Milan will have to focus on something else.
“What is certain, however, is that Cardinale wants to do everything to win a challenge never won by anyone in Italy. No one has ever built a new stadium in Italy, at most only renovated or only rebuilt on the old stadium; no one has ever succeeded from scratch. Cardinale is the best person for the stadium matter,” he stated.
In addition to La Maura and Sesto, San Donato is also a concrete opportunity for Milan and you can read more about that area on our Substack (subscribe and read here).
No one has EVER bulit a new stadium in Italy? Like never ever? I guess San Siro was brought by aliens.
I guess he was refering to Italian Republic (not counting Kingdom of Italy).
You have a problem with reading and understanding.
Do you have a problem with history? Before 1946, it was Kingdom of Italy. At 1946, it become Italian Republic with new constitution. With it comes new law that make it harder for club to build stadium.
What it means is that no club has ever built their own stadiums. The stadiums werre all built by the Government. Juve were the first to own their own stadium in Serie A when they bought Stadio Delle Alpi and renovated it.
San Siro was originally built by Milan before Milan sold it to the government due to financial issue. At that time Italy was still a kingdom without the current constitution and regulation.
@A that was in the early stages of football in Italy apart from those old stadiums in Italy tell me a mothern stadiums built in a fresh land i mean a new area different from the old stadiums that is not demolished or renovated
Clearly, he’s only interested in the Stadium, not in results. He only comes to Italy to check the status for real estate easy money.
