The Milan mayor Beppe Sala has desperately been trying to convince AC Milan to change their mind regarding the stadium. However, as was confirmed by Paolo Scaroni yet again today, it won’t happen.
Milan and Inter had been working on the Ssn Siro project for several years when they decided to call it quits. Now, when the Rossoneri have a concrete plan for the San Donato area, Milan mayor Beppe Sala has reappeared.
He has been on quite the media campaign in recent days, it seems, among other things bad-mouthing Milan’s project in San Donato. Speaking at Festival dello Sport, as cited by Luca Cilli, Scaroni shared his thoughts on the project.
On the project…
“Milan’s will be the most beautiful stadium in the world. I’ve been talking about stadiums for 5 years, it’s now a mission. People on social media now call me Paolo Stadioni. It gives you an idea of how much I talk about it. We will occupy an area unused for any other purpose but suitable for building a stadium. We are on the right path.
“RedBird are super-specialists in the construction of stadiums, they have built many in America. This is also why we have the duty to make a wonderful one. We owe it to our many fans around the world.
On the capacity…
“The capacity will be 70k, our average in recent years. The stadium will also be available on days when there is no football event and we will carry out all related activities such as restaurants and sports-related shops. We are following – 20 years too late – what has already been done in France, Germany and Spain. We are only aligning ourselves with these nations to remain competitive. We have left the world of hope, so I believe that the season in which the new stadium could be inaugurated is 2028-29.”
One can only agree with Scaroni. Milan don’t have time to wait for Sala and his council, especially since there are no certainties from his side right now, only ‘I hope the teams will reconsider San Siro’.
