AS Roma’s NEW STADIUM in Pietralata 🇮🇹

Here’s how Pietralata could become AS Roma’s new home. The plans call for a 60,605-seat stadium, with 23,000 fans behind one goal in the new Curva Sud. The wider €1.05 billion project also includes two public parks and new pedestrian routes.

The project received final administrative approval in September. Rome is targeting a spring 2027 construction start and completion by the end of 2029. The stadium is also a candidate to host matches at UEFA EURO 2032.

🇹🇷 4 STADIUM TRANSFORMATIONS IN TURKIYE

🟡🔴 Galatasaray — RAMS Park (53,387)
Construction began in Seyrantepe in 2007. A change of contractor held up the project, and Galatasaray opened their new home with a friendly against Ajax in January 2011. The 10,404 rooftop solar panels earned a Guinness World Record in 2022.

⚫⚪ Beşiktaş — Tüpraş Stadyumu (42,684)
Beşiktaş began demolishing İnönü Stadyumu in 2013 and built their new ground on the same site, keeping the old Marathon Gate. The first match in April 2016 was a 3–2 win over Bursaspor.

🔵🔴 Trabzonspor — Papara Park (41,061)
First came the land itself, reclaimed from the Black Sea at Akyazı. Construction began in 2013, and the stadium with its angular white roof opened in December 2016. Trabzonspor played their first match there the following month.

🟢⚪ Bursaspor — Matlı Stadyumu / Timsah Arena (43,361)
Work began in 2011 and the stadium opened in December 2015. Its green roof was designed to resemble a crocodile, the club’s symbol. The giant head took longer to build, with installation completed in 2018.

Two San Siros, side by side? 🏟️🏟️

The new Generali Stadium is planned on the car park just west of the current ground, towards Via Tesio. First the Patroclo tunnel gets moved, then AC Milan and Inter build their new home while still playing at the old San Siro.

📅 Construction start: aimed for 2028
⚽ First match: targeted for 2031/32 (subject to approvals)
🔨 Demolition: as early as 2031 in the earlier plan – depending on when the new stadium is ready

The iconic red roof and the whole third tier would go, but the southeast corner of the second tier – where the blue and orange stands meet – would stay. Around it: a museum, shops, a hotel, offices and green space.

For a brief moment, Milan's football past and future could stand next to each other. Would you go see both?

PAST vs PRESENT: Champions League edition 🏟️🏆

🇪🇸 Barcelona — Barça brought Champions League football back to Camp Nou against Eintracht Frankfurt in December 2025, with the new third tier still under construction.

🇩🇪 Bayern Munich — After 33 seasons at the Olympiastadion, Bayern moved to Allianz Arena in 2005. The old tent roof gave way to a new home wrapped in air cushions.

🇪🇸 Atlético Madrid — Madrid’s M-30 ran right under the main stand at the Vicente Calderón. Atlético moved to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in 2017, and the new ground hosted its first Champions League final two years later.

🇩🇪 Borussia Dortmund — Same Westfalenstadion, very different silhouette. The 2003 expansion filled in the corners and added the eight yellow pylons that now frame Signal Iduna Park.

Highmark Stadium: $2.1 billion and still no roof 🏟️❄️

The Buffalo Bills' new home opened in 2026 with 11,000 fewer seats than the old one, $850 million from taxpayers and the world's largest stadium snow-melt system. A dome would have added around $300 million. The Bills chose a canopy instead. Smart call or a costly mistake? 👇

THEN & NOW STADIUMS 🇩🇪🇹🇷🇮🇹🇭🇺

🇩🇪 Signal Iduna Park
Dortmund filled in the corners of the Westfalenstadion and moved the roof supports outside. Those eight yellow pylons did more than free up space for seats. They gave the ground a skyline of its own.

🇹🇷 İnönü Stadı → Beşiktaş Park
Beşiktaş traded İnönü’s running track and open stands for a tighter bowl with a roof that ripples above the seats. The clue that you’re looking at the same spot in Istanbul? The Bosphorus behind it.

🇮🇹 Stadio di Bergamo
Atalanta tore out the old curves behind both goals and rebuilt them as steep, covered stands up against the pitch. Look closely at the far end and you’ll spot La Dea herself in the seats.

🇭🇺 Puskás Ferenc Stadion → Puskás Aréna
Budapest’s old national stadium had a running track and a sweep of uncovered terraces. The Puskás Aréna keeps the oval silhouette, but now three tiers of red seats rise from the edge of the pitch.

Eight roof panels. Months of delays. 🏗️

Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium opened in August 2017 after repeated delays linked to its complex retractable roof. Full automation followed in July 2018—almost a year later.

An architectural icon, but a serious construction challenge. Was it worth the wait? 👇

🚨 SAN SIRO COULD SURVIVE! 🏟️

Italian Senate President Ignazio La Russa has doubled down TODAY: if the centre-right wins Milan's 2027 election, the historic Meazza will NOT be demolished! ❌🔨

His plan:
✅ Milan & Inter still get their NEW stadium
✅ Old San Siro stays standing just metres away
✅ The clubs' commercial developments get MOVED elsewhere in the city

"Two stadiums side by side happen all over the world," says La Russa, who called demolition a "red card" for Milan. 🟥

And he's not alone. Centre-left mayoral hopeful Mario Calabresi now also wants to SAVE the stadium, which would avoid a ~€120M demolition bill. 💸

For now it's only a political promise. The clubs haven't responded, and their plan still includes demolishing most of the old ground.

EA FC 27 vs REALITY 🎮🏟️

We’ve put Allianz Arena, Stade Louis II, Parc des Princes and Legia Warsaw’s stadium alongside their real-life versions. Monaco’s arches, those red lights in Munich — plenty of familiar details. Then you get to Legia and remember how much the fans add to the picture.

Two future stadiums on different continents… looking surprisingly alike 🇮🇹🇺🇸

AC Milan and Inter’s planned Generali Stadium and the Washington Commanders’ future home at the RFK site have something in common: a silhouette that makes you look twice.

Sweeping rooflines, pale supports and dark glass façades. But look closer:

🇮🇹 Milan has bold X-shaped supports and an opening above the pitch. Designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA.

🇺🇸 Washington has a regular colonnade and a transparent dome covering the field. Designed by HKS.

New stadium for Chicago Bears in Indiana? 🐻🏟️

The Chicago Bears could leave Soldier Field for a new enclosed NFL stadium and entertainment district in Hammond, Indiana. The team has pledged $2 billion towards construction, with Lost Marsh and Wolf Lake Terminal being evaluated.

But Illinois is fighting back. Arlington Heights—and potentially Chicago itself—could still be options for the new Bears stadium. No groundbreaking date is confirmed, and the battle over the team’s next home continues.

San Siro’s transformation into Generali Stadium 🇮🇹

🏗️ A new stadium and a new look for an entire Milan district. Inter and AC Milan’s planned Generali Stadium will accommodate 71,500 fans, alongside new green spaces, shops and a museum.

The new arena will rise beside the Meazza, which will remain in use until its replacement opens. Much of the historic stadium will then be demolished, with a section preserved within the new complex.
