pandemonium Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 San Siro is probably the best italian stadium along with the Olimpico of Rome. THe pitch is usually craps irl cause it rains all the time in that part of Italy, but thats nothing that can be done about that until they invent super-growing wondergrass.

BobMUFC08 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Italian teams dont sell out their grounds as much as England teams, the only time they get near full capacity is in big games so tbh i reckon an expansion would be wasted. Im also Inter at the moment and it holds around 80,000 i think and the only time ive seen it full was the milan derby, all other games have been around the 69,000 mark.

That's not really the cause why the pitch is crap. It started being crap when they added the 3rd tier for the World Cup in Italy. Since then they had problems having the sun hitting the grass due to the 3rd tier, and without proper sun light the grass didn't grow properly.

Or install a roof! I seem to recall either reading an article in a newspaper or online that AC are actually looking to move away from the san siro so perhaps a stadium move is already programmed into the game.

pandemonium Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I've heard that Inter were looking to get a new stadium in which case Milan would buy San Siro. But those newspople are liaaars!

It should, but I don't think it will. IIRC, AC Milan and Inter Milan have 2 different stadiums in the database (one called San Siro and one called G. Meazza), despite the fact that IRL they are the same stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter because they can't be expanded (as said in the first post). In fact, I'd reckon that this was put in purposefully to stop such a conundrum even if it was expanded in real life.

TommyBhoy Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 right i see what you mean, yeah they never will be expanded therfore no confusion would be difficult to implement the two working in sync? a new stadium would be the best you could hope for i reckon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then they had problems having the sun hitting the grass due to the 3rd tier, and without proper sun light the grass didn't grow properly. Yeah. If you watch an afternoon game there, you can plainly see the pitch only gets light from the racecourse side that doesn't have the added 3rd tier that you mention. Until recently there were suggestions that ground would be purchased from the course, enabling the stadium to be evened-up (making the pitch worse!), but the plans have been dropped after both clubs showing interest in their own stadiums. EDIT: I DO wish people wouldn't call it the San Siro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, more commonly called San Siro, is a football stadium in Milan, Italy. It is the home stadium for two of the most successful European clubs: AC Milan and F.C. Internazionale Milano, and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. Although it has been officially renamed in honour of Giuseppe Meazza, the Internazionale and Milan player of the 1930s and 1940s, it is still commonly called the San Siro.

NotWordsButDeeds Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I don't know why they have different names in the game, there's probably a simple explanation. It's true that Milan, as opposed to Inter, fans do refer to the stadium as San Siro; that's their prerogative. But tribal loyalties don't change fact. The stadium originally named after the area of the city was officially renamed Stadio Meazza (include Giusseppe, whatever). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanM Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The stadium is officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the Internazionale and Milan player of the 1930s and 1940s. As he enjoyed more success at Inter and is more favoured by the Inter faithful, Milan fans prefer to use the term San Siro for the ground. Thus, this is reflected in the game itself.

stephan75 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hi all, I wanna make things clear for everybody. I live in Milan and i'm an Inter supporter. The real name of the stadium is: Stadio "Giuseppe Meazza" in San Siro. Where Giuseppe Meazza is the name of the stadium in honour of our great player. San Siro is the area of the city where the stadium is built. Inter and Milan fans call it in the same way: San Siro. Only tv and other media call it Meazza, alternating it with San Siro. Things are moving (hopefully) in Italy. Juventus has bought and is renewing the old Delle Alpi, in two years it will become his new stadium. Lazio is on the way of building a new stadium. Inter just finished a project based on Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena and plans to start building the new stadium in 2011, a little outside Milan, with 60.000 seats capacity. It's believed that Milan will take over San Siro. I hope to see this reflected in the game, sooner or later... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AB-forever Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I just noticed A.C milan play at the San Siro and Inter at the "Giuseppe Mazza".

What annoys me is the media and fans (of other clubs) here (the UK) that call it that too - when, as Stephan and I have said it's real/official name is Meazza.

NotWordsButDeeds Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I really don't see the big deal in calling a stadium by a nickname. Taken at face value, I agree. However, although I don't live in Milan like Stephan and I'm in no way saying he is incorrect, Italians friends I have who support Inter and ones I have met when visiting Milan all refer to the stadium with it's official name. So to go back to your point. If you support team A, you'd get annoyed if the majority of people referred to your stadium with name team B used to describe it.

Crpls Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 So people shouldn't call the San Siro because it annoys Inter fans, but calling it the Giuseppe Meazza is okay even if it annoys Milan fans who prefer the San Siro? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
