san siro

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (aka Stadio San Siro), home of AC Milan, current European Champions, and Inter Milan, current Serie A champions. Built in 1926 and renovated in 1989 before the 1990 World Cup. Capacity around 85,000.

 

The foreground barriers and turnstiles are being built this summer - they were working on them when I was there. Their introduction has been made mandatory at Serie A football grounds following the tragic scenes last season (and previous ones) at several different grounds, which culminated in a police officer dying at the Sicilian derby, Catania vs Palermo.

 

San Siro is one of world football's most iconic stadiums, and one of my favourites.
