Italian stadiums are sh*t (except this one)

I took the Juventus stadium tour in Turin. Juve are Serie A's most successful team having won over 30 league titles and 2 European Cups.
The Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium) is the only modern, large stadium in the country and still only holds just over 41,000 spectators. The San Siro, Stadio Olimpico, Stadio Diego Armando Maradona are all old and historic but don't have the modern facilities of Juventus.
Will Roma, Lazio, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli and other big Italian football clubs one day own their own stadium?

I do love Italy and the history of their iconic stadiums. BUT, it's fair to say most don't live up to modern standards. However, Juventus have an incredible new, modern stadium. Where should I visit in Italy next???

[@alancawfield6549]

San Siro is great , really old and outdated but the steepness of the stands gives you an incredible view and it's very atmospheric, the atmosphere doesn't come through properly on The TV.

[@alancawfield6549]

The stadium in Bologna is very pretty but massively outdated , I wasn't in it or a match just pottered about outside it.City Centre is lovely though, I love the covered walkways.

[@alancawfield6549]

Artemio Franchi is Florence is really outdated (the un-covered side of the ground has no toilets only a couple of portaloos) but it has a beautiful view of the outskirts of Florence from the upper tier and it looks unique with the grass behind each goal and the tower on one side of the ground.

The San Siro seating colour has become iconic, like as in primo rosso (first tier red) is associated with the richest seats and the tribuna d'onore, whereas secondo blu (second tier blue) and secondo verde (second tier green) have been associated with each team's respective ultras (curva sud and curva nord) and even been incorporated in chants. I do agree the San Siro deserves a bit of work, but just because it doesn't look like every other stadium doesn't mean it is wrong. Also you should check the stadium capacity stats - Inter for sure gets >75,000 each game (as there are 6 closed sectors due to vibrations and the away end rarely gets filled anyway) and I'm pretty sure Milan has been pretty close in the past couple of seasons. Whereas if you look at Juventus's stadium, more times than not there are empty seats around.

[@soundscape26]

Quite an odd stadium with the new ends bigger than the main stands. Yeah I know they can't demolish the main stands because they are listed.

[@michelemostachetti898]

The renovation will be completed this summer. The stadium will have 25,000 seats, in the new Morosini curve there will be an Atalanta museum and the seats in the Pisani curve will be changed. The 2 stands which are objectively ugly seen from the outside unfortunately cannot be touched due to historical constraints, two crosspieces will be mounted which will connect the roofs of the two curves to visually compensate for the difference in height between the curves and the stands. In my opinion the strong point of the Bergamo stadium is that in addition to being a beautiful structure it is also very functional unlike the Juventus stadium (I was in the away section and the space between the seats is really narrow and the match can be seen really badly, instead in Bergamo the seats are spacious and the pitch can be seen really well from any sector).

Really poor choice of words for the title of this. I LOVE Italian football stadiums and I’ve been to loads. Having watched football all over Europe, the Italian fan experience is without a doubt my favourite. It’s exactly because they haven’t been turned into soulless, clean, safe, modern stadiums that they are the best. It’s exactly for the Italia 90 nostalgia that they are brilliant. Flares, beer, ultras, stand where you like. The atmosphere in every Italian stadium is far superior to England’s modern, sterilised experience and a big part of that is because of the stadiums. In my experience, the shinier the stadium, the poorer the atmosphere. San Siro is the most iconic stadium - couldn’t care less about the faded seat colours. Like your videos but this one has completely misunderstood the soul of football!

[@ErinStephanie-mf2qk]

Sorry to break rank with the creator, but this headline is pretty inflammatory, and lacking nuance and context. Yes, English stadiums are of a high standard. But of course ticket prices in England, are among the highest in Europe. And quite a few well supported English clubs, despite their large fanbase, live a highly precarious existence. Why is that? Most Italian stadiums are municipally owned. The benefits of this, to counter the down sides, is the club doesn’t own the stadium. That means the costs of maintenance are not borne by the football club, which reduces the likelihood of indebtedness. The only cost is rent. When Italian clubs financially do struggle, it is through reckless spending on players. Or the corruption of its owners. Not the stadium. If they owned their stadiums - like the English - quite a few more Italian clubs would go to the wall. The other benefit, is the club stays as a community asset. And maintains its link to the town or city. Yes, Italian stadiums are not the most aesthetically pleasing to the naked eye. But in return, it’s give the club financial piece of mind, and the football club, remains with the community.

[@CryptoZillian]

You have no clue about the stadium income of the English clubs. Liverpool, Man City, Man United, Arsenal Tottenham and Chelsea average 85m-120m from their stadiums. They can easily finance the stadium maintenance and still have money left. Just look up the yearly account numbers of Deloitte.

Greetings from Florence!!! Unfortunately in Italy there is a rule that if a stadium is over 50 years old, then it is considered a MONUMENT.....this sentence for me is incredibly blasphemous.....as well as a lack of respect for the citizens who want to go and watch sport in complete SAFETY and WELL-BEING. EXAMPLE: The Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence is more than 100 years old and is obviously considered a monument for its "futurism" and for the fact that it was the first REINFORCED CONCRETE stadium. For entire years the ACF Fiorentina football club has remained trapped in a political tangle of INTERESTS and INTRANSIGENT RULES on the issue of the new stadium.....Fiorentina has tried in every way to create a new facility, attempting the restyling of the Franchi (impossible at least for the acquisition of the stadium rights) and the purchase of possible land adjacent to the city for the creation of a new facility. Result? Superintendency, preserving cultural heritage, maintaining the territorial integrity typical of the Tuscany region, appeals, counter appeals, delays, archaeological finds under the ground.....WE HAVE NOT ACHIEVED ANYTHING!!! OR AT LEAST IN PART. In fact, last year the municipality made use of Pnnr resources to finance a 360° restyling of the Artemio Franchi stadium. A presentation was held in the "Salone del 500'" of various designers and architects to choose the best project. The Arup (famous company) project won..... what's the problem? Europe takes away part of the funds for the restyling from the city, the works have miraculously STARTED and in the meantime 55 million euros are missing for total completion. Fiorentina obviously does not participate financially as the stadium belongs to the Municipality.....WE ARE STRUGGLES

In Genoa the bar is literally a small 40x60 cm whole in a metallic panel through which you need to communicate, pay and collect your drinks through. In Lecce 1 of the 2 turnstiles was broken, 1,400 people through 1 small entrance, complete chaos... I guess away ends in certain stadiums are worse that the conditions of certain prisons, or not so far off. I could go on forever with stories regarding the conditions of stadiums inItaly, in particular away ends, and I can assure you that the lower the division the worse they get. lol good luck if you ever decide to visit one

I have just come across this video. I am from Italy and, yes, the vast majority of stadia in Italy is old and some of them are clearly falling apart. Juventus Stadium (and very few others such as Orogel Stadium, Dacia Arena, Gewiss Stadium and Benito Stirpe) are worthy visiting. Bureaucracy and lack of political will are some the reasons for this. Fun fact: expect for Turin, all the above-mentioned stadia are located in small-to-medium cities. It's very embarrassing that big cities such as Rome, Milan and Naples are struggling with this

If i'm not mistaken in order to build a new football stadiumTorino council gave to Juventus the area of the former delle alpi stadium on a 99 years "free" deal... Piero Fassino mayor of Torino at the time was and still is a Juventus fan😂

[@thetemptedvida8650]

You're wrong. The deal was €25m and the mayor at that time was Chiamparino, and he is a Torino fan. Deal with it

[@paolotosini9255]

@@thetemptedvida8650Sorry i was mistaken cause at that time the mayor was Chiamparino (Torino fan) Who made the 25m deal with Juventus but the following mayor Fassino (Juventus fan) inaugurated the new stadium.

[@bendover992002]

The city made the 25 million offer to Torino too. Torino declined to buy the stadium they're currently in for some odd reason.

[@paolotosini9255]

@@bendover992002 i remember Torino supporters contested the former Mayer Fassino by calling him a "gobbo" ( hunchback) derogatory nickname for Juventus supporters...

[@oldskoolmusicnostalgia]

No, Juve bought the right to use the land. Just like AC Milan just bought land in San Donato to build their new stadium, and Inter planning to do the same in Rozzano. But it's only a problem when Juventus do it, eh?

You're right that most of Italian stadiums are very old fashion and in bad conditions. I've been in many of them and I can confirm. I've been living in Spain nor for 15 years, and here even Second Division stadiums are better. 100% agree with the fact that Juventus has the best modern Stadium, but if you are a real old style casual football lover, stadiums like San Siro and Marassi in Genoa are absolutely the History. We are losing that vibe with modern stadiums. Here in Madrid we have an example with Metropolitano stadium. It's a great modern stadium, fantastic and confy, but you can't compare it with old Calderon as experience.

Gli stadi ora sembrano dei salotti. Era più bello una volta

[@MondayMornings]

Juventus is the biggest fanbase in Italy but not as much in Turin. 40K more than enough for them, attendances are also overstated at times as not all season tickets holder go (some of them come from all around Italy and skip games). There were instances in the last two seasons with probably 25K people max in the stadium. Milan and Inter on the contrary lately always fill San Siro, as Roma does, but they are unfortunately trying to build smaller stadiums in the name of the "experience"...

[@jsolloso]

Disagree. Older stadiums have the history and are amazing for a young fan or a economically restricted fan. The newer stadiums are clearly done for the rich minority, with no actual ambience, all like a fab convention with no individuality. Architecturally, majority of new ones look like a steel prison.

[@petersburgh78]

Most of the stadiums in Italy are old fashion. There are so many obstacles to building new stadiums in Italy such as government issues, most people there feeling romantic with their past, and lastly, some areas of the city are considered historical sites (being protected by local people or UNESCO)

[@theoverlord1925]

Italian stadiums might be a bit run down but Italy has won the Word Cup 4 times. You ve won It how many times?Once. That’s what people remember , not how modern your stadiums are mate .Furthermore , I wouldn’t be bragging about modern stadiums when many people in your country are using food banks and have to chose between eating or heating in winter .

[@mustafaabdelsalam7438]

I am a Juve fan since 1995, and I have been lucky enough to be in the Sansiro and the Allianz stadium, but nothing compares to the Sansiro vibes and atmosphere... I understand the business aspect and modernizing stadiums for more revenue ,,, but I wish clubs would renew the stadiums while maintaining its historical identity. For instance looking at the new bernabue, its new and cool and modern, but feels like its totally detached from the realmadrid history - don't get me wrong its an amazing stadium but it doesn't feel historical anymore - may be am too emotional or too attached to legacy stuff, but for me Sansiro with even its current condition is better than any other stadium and i hope if they will renew it someday they will maintain its identity

[@davidemancini7853]

San Siro is the best stadio in Europe full stop! And guess what? Is sold out every time! I wonder if in England they fill up the stadium?????

[@amc5966]

Como's stadium is in the best spot in Italy.

[@ben-cansonthetraina6182]

I'd sooner go to an old falling down stadium than a new sponsor heavy money stadium. For me that Juve stadium symbolises the bad side of football and it's obsession with money and marketing rather than the real fan driven community experience of what football should be about. Does a faded seat really matter in the long and short of it? Football isn't about keeping up with Jones' and trying to have something bigger and better. As long as a stadium is safe it doesn't need to be modern. Most modern stadiums can be pretty soulless bowls.

[@SinneD_-uh4ty]

The old Undine ground was a nightmare when i be there with BVB in 2005,678 can't clear reamber weile im writing this com. Sry ;)

[@seamuscumm]

As an Inter and Italian football fan in general who has been around Italy for matches it's hard to disagree with anything said about the stadiums here. The biggest obstacle is Italian politics, lots of teams want to build but councils who own some of the stadiums don't want to give up their money maker. Look at current Inter and Milan situation, mayor and council in Milan blocking and screwing them at every turn. I believe this is a big reason no big outside investors are buying Italian clubs.

[@maxius7119]

I'd pick a "shitty" stadium like San Siro or Stadio Olimpico over any soulless modern stadium anyday.

[@robertosedigno9467]

I think Italian clubs refuse to invest in new stadiums for two main reasons: they don't want to take the risk of investing a big amount of money (although they would get it in returns almost certainly) and they have to face corruption at regional level, for example Milan mayor refused to reason with AC Milan board, so they had to move their project to a nearby area (San Donato Milanese). Then you have a club like Napoli that has a president who is literally Mr Krabs, he wants to spend the minimum and wants to be praised if he achieves something thanks to managers and players, then proceeds to sell players or reduce their salaries. Greetings from Italy btw

San Siro may be old and need some work but man oh man when i first step out of the San Siro metro station and walked towards the stadium the AURA it gives man it is something that not alot of modern stadiums can give.

[@TheFatGandalf]

Can’t disagree with your assessment. San Siro’s atmosphere is second to none but the stadium itself needs work. Problem is it has old bones and the City of Milan won’t let extensive work to be done on it. That’s the driving force behind Inter and AC Milan looking to build their own stadiums in Rozano and San Donato respectively. Both should have something in place by 2028 or 2029 at the latest.

[@unnknownviewer]

Atalanta, Sassuolo, Frosinone are pretty good and modern

[@mattj9197]

Italian stadiums are a lot better than the premier league, maybe not for the facilities and the view but at least you don’t get all the plastics like in England.

[@pippocrashed1717]

modern doesn't always mean better, old stadiums give you feelings that this sort of shopping malls don't

I did the San Siro stadium tour in like 2010 - it was amazing. Loved the stadium, despite it being a little outdated... But my only live game in Italy was at Palermo in 2022 and it's a fantastic old stadium!

Vatti a leggere la loro storia, e capirai perché la juentus è "il Top" in italia... se ti interessa capire il perché.
