New Milan stadium, meeting Gerry Cardinale and mayor Sala- Corriere.it

A meeting between the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala and the owner of AC Milan took place at Palazzo Marino Gerry Cardinale, number 1 of the RedBird fund. The president Paolo Scaroni and the managing director Giorgio Furlani were also present with him for the AC Milan club.

The theme of the meeting, which lasted about an hour, was that of the new stadium: the mayor in recent days reiterated that he needed to know in a formal act if the Rossoneri club intended to abandonand the stadium project together with Inter which has been worked on for the last four years and which is, at least in words, still standing. Only in words, however: in fact, the will of the new Rossoneri owners to move towards a single-handed facility seems to be established. this is precisely the intention of Cardinale who explained well that he prefers independence and who, in the USA, has already had in-depth experience of how to enhance stadiums. We built Yankees Stadium, the home ground of the Dallas Cowboys, we have great experience in building facilities and also in scheduling revenue streams in stadiums. I’m a big believer in being independent, but at the moment there’s nothing we rule out regardless, his last words at the Financial Times conference.

Where to build the new stadium remains to be seen: in recent weeks, attention has focused on the area of the La Maura racecourse, which has the advantage of being private and already having a sporting use, but which is located within the South Park. The project has already aroused protests from environmentalists. The intention was to set up a program agreement between the club, the municipality and the region

And Inter? Inter has always reiterated that it prefers the new shared San Siro stadium as option one, but has already launched investigations into an area in Rozzano.
