Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Multi-purpose sports venue in San Siro district, Milan, Italy
The Giuseppe Meazza Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue in the San Siro district of Milan and hosts home games for AC Milan and Inter Milan with 75817 seats spread across four color-coded sections. The structure consists of massive concrete forms and exterior towers that rise over multiple levels and are connected by wide ramps and staircases.
Architect Ulisse Stacchini designed the structure in 1925 and it opened on September 19, 1926, with a match between Milan and Inter. Since 1980 it has carried the name of footballer Giuseppe Meazza who played for both clubs during the 1930s and 1940s.
On match days thousands of fans wearing red-black and blue-black shirts flood the area and create an atmosphere of intense rivalry between two clubs that have shared a single location for decades. The crowd transforms the surroundings into a sea of flags and chants as supporters of both teams meet on the stands and in the streets around the venue.
Visitors reach the venue via the M5 subway line as well as several bus and tram routes that run directly from the center of Milan. On match days it helps to arrive early to avoid large crowds and waiting times at the entrance.
The distinctive exterior towers at the four corners contain spiral ramps that allow spectators to reach the top tier without climbing any stairs. The complex is listed as part of Italian national heritage and is considered a significant example of early twentieth-century sports architecture.
