Moratti eyes stadium switch Thursday 16 November, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inter President Massimo Moratti has revealed that the club could leave the San Siro and build a new stadium in Milan.

The Nerazzurri moved to their current venue in 1947, having previously played at the Arena, in the centre of the city.

However, they are now considering a move seeing as the Stadio Meazza is owned by the city of Milan and the concession is becoming more and more expensive.

"We are thinking about a stadium which will be entirely for us,” said Moratti. “It is an interesting project, that must be studied carefully.”

Newspaper Il Giornale has suggested Inter are planning to build a new stadium in Rogoredo, a neighbourhood in the western part of town.

“We have wasted many years trying to solve the San Siro issue. I believe the city council should speak with us, in order to understand what the options are.”

The concession ends in 2010 and Moratti is studying an £85m project to build a new stadium which could accommodate 60,000 fans.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani had also declared in the past few weeks that the Rossoneri were considering a new venue.

However, former Inter star Beppe Bergomi does not like the idea of leaving the San Siro. “Why another stadium? Our history is linked to the current one,” said Lo Zio.

“I don’t believe that moving would make any sense, traditions must be respected,” added the former Nerazzurri defender.

Many clubs could have a chance to get access to funds for renovating the stadiums as Italy is bidding to host the European Championships in 2012.

Havent you bought enough ? I think Inter have bought hundreds of players in the past 10-12 years and have not had success ( 2 coppas are not good enough ) , why not try something different, NOT buying new players :pp
People will call them "stadio-scudetti". Diavolo will start posting on Stadiopoli and Rubentini will start shitting their pants.

Well u can say that to Real Madrid cause at least Inter got 2 Coppa Italia,2 Super Coppa and 1 Scudetto.
Real Madrid spend double what we spend and last 3 years they got nothing.

I think it would be great if one of Inter or Milan decided to build a new stadium. Would also strengthen chances for Euro 2012 :) a modern day 60,000 stadia is what Italy needs so other clubs and cities follow suit.

I would be in favor of buying out the land from Milan city government and building a new stadium for both Milan clubs in the same spot. That way we can pool resources together and make a stadium at the same spot, and we would have our derbies in the same stadium
