A.C. MILAN : stadium

The team's current stadium is the 85,700 seater San Siro, officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza after the former player who represented both Milan and Inter. The name San Siro comes from the district where it's located. The stadium is shared with Inter Milan, the other major football club in Milan. The stadium is well known for its fantastic atmosphere due to the closeness of the stands to the pitch. Another feature of the stadium is the use of flares by the Milan fans which adds to the great atmosphere.

On 19 December 2005, AC Milan vice-president and executive director Adriano Galliani announced that the team is seriously working to move out from San Siro. He said that Milan's new stadium will be largely based on the Arena AufSchalke and following the standards of football stadia in the United States, Germany, and Spain. It will likely be a stadium for football purposes only (with no athletics track). The new stadium is supposed to be named after a sponsor. It remains to see if this plan will proceed or if this is just a ploy to force the owners (Comune di Milano) to sell the stadium to Milan for a nominal fee so as to proceed with extensive renovations. Rumours have also surfaced of Inter's intention to also build a new stadium which may also affect this decision.
