As was to be expected, new appeals have come forward to try and halt AC Milan and Inter’s stadium project from getting fully underway.
According to today’s edition of the newspaper Il Giorno (via MilanPress), the Gruppo Verde San Siro – with the support of 200 residents – filed a complaint with the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court (TAR) yesterday. It is not the first, and it will not be the last, as Paolo Scaroni admitted.

What is being contested
As reported by Calcio e Finanza, the association has appealed against the demolition of the current San Siro stadium and its sale to Inter and Milan, as well as against the project for the new facility.
As a reminder, the new stadium project has not yet been presented in detail because the two world-famous architecture firms – Foster + Partners and MANICA – are still working on it, and will be for a few more months yet.
The Gruppo Verde San Siro opposes all the resolutions and related acts approved by the City Council and Executive Committee from 2019 to today, regarding the sale and planned demolition of the Meazza, the Parco dei Capitani and the Patroclo underpass. They ask the Ministry of Culture to immediately initiate a cultural interest assessment of the San Siro.
Added to this are the disputes regarding the works that are to be carried out around the new stadium, as well as the ‘violations of the administrative procedure for approving resolutions and the failure to comply with environmental regulations’.
I’d give them control over San Siro so they have to pay for maintenance and make money from it…It is enough to see the faces of the people in this “group”. Retirement home, most of them are over 80 years old, some are even close to the San Siro Age. If you are over 60 whatever you say about the future shouldn’t even be considered. You probably won’t be there.
Sounds like something a dictator would say tbh
That old people shouldn’t make decisions for young peoples future? Sounds like something any smart person should agree with. Why aren’t their children protesting and doing this, all of these people have children that are in 30s or 40s. Where are they? Oh, yeah, they don’t mind having a new stadium instead of the rotting one that is there now. Who actually cares about nostalgia of 200 old people to let them prevent progress? We are talking about a football stadium, not demolishing a n old city center to build a mall.
Or you mean that a dictator would say that they probably won’t be there? If that is the case, try googling human biology, human life expectancy and check it out a bit. Stating the universal facts of nature don’t make you a dictator. 😀
