It's official, so I thought it was deserving of its own thread

The Fondazione Fiera has selected the Milan stadium project for the Portello area

i think that we are moving in the right direction now. This is vital step for the long term future of the club

Great news!

Two aspects of note:

1: From the outside it's a clear homage to the San Siro.

2: Inside it looks like the Juve stadium just in our colours.

I personally don't see the homage aspect you're pointing out. Looks nothing like San Siro to me.

And don't most new stadiums have that generic feel to them from the inside?

I personally don't see the homage aspect you're pointing out. Looks nothing like San Siro to me.

The four grey rectangle stantions at the side and 3 at the ends look like modernisations of the 3 grey towers per side and 2 per end of the San Siro, IMHO.

And don't most new stadiums have that generic feel to them from the inside?

If you look at say four of the most significant new stadiums in the past 20 years - Wembley, Emirates, Etihad, Juve - they all look very different to each each other inside. But this Milan Arena definitely has most in common with Juve's ground. I'm not saying that's a bad thing - different times to the way they were, but it's a little underwhelming that it doesn't look that different in these prototype images.

[Fillipo Simone]

I hear that Standford Bridge is a model stadium for the new Milan home from a economical aspect, while Basel, Bilbao and the Emirates stadium serve as urbanistic examples.

Now I'm pretty sure the stadium will be called "Emirates Milano" or something like this, but just for the sake of argument: what do you guys think of the oldfashioned stadium names? Are they outdated? What would you suggest to call the new Milan stadium if all options would be possible?

Stadio Bunga Bunga

Avoid the creche.

[amancik]

In my language, it would be the Flowers Stadium which is not as bad as what it actually refers to haha.

[X-Offender]

Avoid the creche.

The what?

[Danny]

The what?

Ha, thought that might trip up the non-primary English speakers.

It's a French word widely used in English for the little common rooms at places where parents leave their young children in the hands of supervisors while they get a badly-needed break.

I was subtly hinting here at Silvio's preference for under-agers.

Ha! We also call it that, but it's usually for children who are orphans.

Anyway, when I first read it, I was like, what's Danny on about now with child care institute mentions (IMG:http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/icons/thinking.gif)
