GdS: No criminals or free zones – why San Siro is set to be a ‘pilot project for Italy’

AC Milan and Inter hope to purchase San Siro shortly, and it will be a new project for everyone involved. Perhaps, revolutionary.

There are big plans for the new San Siro, a new designer has been appointed, and the groundwork is being laid. In fact, both clubs want to be in the new stadium by 2030. So it is indeed a long term project.

This, also, is without considering the protests against the deal, and certain investigations taking place currently. Of course, you would imagine that these will be sorted shortly, however, there is no telling when it regards the new Milanese stadium.

Additional factor

Having a longer time to assess everything may not be the worst thing, though. Infact, it could benefit all parties, and even outside parties.

As Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning, the clubs, paired with the Milan Prosector Office, want to rid San Siro of criminals, restoring ‘legality’ to every area inside the stdium, as well as removing free zones.

The idea is a ‘pilot project for Italy’ and it is done with the anti-mafia office. A revolutionary idea, which could spread across the nation. Considering the recent investigations into ultras from both clubs, it is done as a safety and reputational measure.

Ideas to implement

There are several protocols which may come into play, such as the disability to share season tickets with others, as well as facial recognition systems. Though the biggest is the cultural shift which is hoped for.

Furthermore, players will be asked to follow these measures, such as ‘bowing to the ultras’, commentators must stop blaming the ‘lack of ultras’ on results. Things are about to be locked down, it seems.
