Goodbye San Siro

[Jupiter]

Aye but most of it ( as we know it now) was built in the eighties in time for the World Cup.

I'm pretty sure I stood at the top of the stand looking down on the old San Siro anyway, perhaps if they build it close then they will choose the old site.

If you dig down in Rome you find things.

There isn't an old San Siro, but there is an old horse racing track beside it, which is why one side has only 2 tiers.

I took my son to San Siro when he turned 18
I used to take my boys scarves etc home when they were little, and had always promised to take him one day.
I'll give you that was over 13 years ago but it was in good nick then. I don't get the "dump" quotes.

First time I went I was in the top row behind the goal ( inter end) it was a Milan game.

I'm glad I went in early, it gave me time to acclimatise. (sitting down but holding on to the barriers)

Marco van Basten was a one man front three.
Franco Baresi was almost as good as Wullie Miller.

I love Italian football.

I concur. Thats why my mate and me started annual pilgrimages.

Atalanta was awesome

This coming season. Sampdoria main reason, then hopefully at least another game in the vicinity(im hoping for Torino)

I like the San Siro and try to go at least once a year. I was up in the third tier for the Juventus game in November and the view was a lot better than I expected. Usually I go to the second tier red. The derby games with Inter are very enjoyable. The new tube extension makes it very easy to get to and from Central Station. Food and drink outside is not too bad and a reasonable price. Match ticket prices vary according to who is playing with the derby and Juve costing around 90 euros for a cheap seat.

Milan as a city though is not a favourite. It's not too bad between May and September but most of the football tends to be played between September and May when, every time I've been, the weather is pants. Smoggy, foggy and drizzle or torrential rain.

I'd be happier if they knocked down Milan and left the San Siro alone.

I thought that one side only had 2 tiers to let the wind in for the pitch, I know that they had terrible trouble with the pitch in the early days.

Apparently the top tier has been wobbling, so it might fall down by itself. The new stadium, if it ever happens, will be built in the car park.

It will be interesting to see which is built first, new San Siro or our shuttle bus arena. Or neither of them.

Behind the goals top tier?

Closed when i was there. I wondered why as the place was ram packed

Third tier was built for the 1990 world cup, were you there before that donsdaft?

This is what it used to look like
