    -M.K.S.
    -(M.K.S. -Italian FOOTie; can!!).

  4. i hope not, just improve it, why tear it down? i don't know construction but can't it just be improved upon?, at least rebuilt it looking the same, modern stadiums look all the same, look like shit, no one has any design talent anymore, hope they keep San Siro like it is at least.

  5. It’s always some stubborn old people that with this history stuff cause issues.. history should be admired and used for better future not compromising it. If AC Milan now moves to San Donato the city of Milano will loose revenue and they’ll remain with San Siro which will become a liability and eventually they’ll have to tear it down as it occupies that much land in the heart of the city

  6. I stopped watching "modern" football for a while now. I occasionally skim over Inter news, just to check over my team, as if I'm checking on an old friend that I'm only nostalgic to.
    We cannot address a problem with a problematic solution. There's an unsustainable problem with football clubs capitalization. And the solution is not to demolish The Meazza, but it's with UEFA, and FIFA. I'm not a football legislator, but maybe a salary cap or transfer cap would help? But definitely way more scrutiny in club finances and changes in ownership/investments.

  9. PARASITE VENTURE CAPITALIST OWNERS NEED TO BE BANNED BY UEFA. THEY HAVE RUINED EUROPES BIGGEST CLUBS. l URGE Milan Fans do not buy the coming PR and think loading the ACMilan with debt like Arsenal/Spurs, turning San Siro into condos is to be 'competitive' and not simply destroying the soul of the club just to turn a quick profit and increase the assets of the club as business for the parasitic owners.

  12. Doesn’t the argument about the lack of financial difficulties affecting their chances to be competitive fall flat anyway.
    Inter Milan reached the Champions League final regardless.
    I get the sense it’s about making money for it’s own sake and they should just be honest about that.

  17. That is what happens when a building gets to big to maintain and sustain for its owner, when the owner is not fully responsible for its succes. Cant be a big company in the world of sports and/or fluctuating interests.

  18. At least in milan they do have an debate, here in Brazil, the Maracanã was almost entirely demolished and rebuild, without even studies about the viability of the Stadium after the 2014 WC. And now we have an expensive, giant white elephant in which the local gvmt forces the local football clubs to play, making difficult for them to build their own stadiuns to justify this "New maracana"

  24. Appreciate the stadium taking into account its age and the repairs needed. Plus all the rights associated with food permits and marchandise. Then, you give have offer the two clubs a combined bid or a single bit. If the price is higher than building a new dtadium, and the benefits are lower. Then, it should be demolished

  25. Tottenham fans hate that their club is run by people that care only about the bottom line and nothing about on pitch success. I don't think any fanbase really wants their club headed in that direction. I don't see why the clubs and the municipality could not come up with a plan to renovate and modernize while preserving San Siro. It would be a tragedy to lose a stadium with such history.

  30. just casually miss, Estadio AZTECA that saw the goal of the century, the hand of god, Maradona and Pele world champions and waiting for his 3th world cup with 100,000 capacity.
