Still the best roof ever

A stadium, shirley?

Yeah, sorry, not sure how I've managed that.

I was quite surprised to find that the upper tier and all of the spiral walk ways are essentially an extension on the ground. There is an actual gap between the original stadium and the 'new' level, at no point are you actually in the ground, rather on a perch over looking. Still rocking mind you.

Why "We are AC Milan"? It's in Italy.

Have some pride... "Noi siamo AC Milan"!

Exactly this, the majority of stadiums in Italy were built for the world cup 25 years ago and are owned by the local authorities with the clubs renting them but policed run by the LA. The FIGC want to follow the British model of clubs owning and running their stadia.

Most of the San Siro predates that:

Horrible looking stadium. Although nice to see something that isnt curved an oval it does look someone has designed it in minecraft.

The man who founded them was english, originally as a football and cricket club.
Genoa are similar I think.

What's wrong with the San Siro

Quite a lot. One of the worst grounds I've been too. And I've been to Fratton Park.

I've been in the San siro when full for a big champions league game , fantastic stadium, a bit sad to see it go to be honest.

Considering how pedantic most people are in here, I'm quite susrorised everyone is getting away with calling it the San Siro.

Me too, I was there for Inter v Juve, a game known as the Battle of Italy. Absolutely fantastic.

So, for those of us who have always thought that this is what it was called, where have we gone wrong?

The stadium is called The Guissepi Meazza, the area it's located in is San Siro. It's like people referring to The Amex as Falmer.

Is it really? The Amex has only ever been the Amex, but wasn't the San Siro the San Siro until the 1980s? And given that most people call it the San Siro, it's the San Siro right?

No one ever calls Upton Park the Boleyn Ground

I think it looks good tbh. Im guessing its easy to expanded the stadium, like put some more lego blocks on, because if they return to glory they could nearly double their attendances.

The pic posted of the the current San Siro looks like an abandoned industrial building.
