San Siro has a successor: this is what Milan and Inter's new stadium will look like
The Generali Stadium will hold 71,500 fans and is set to open in 2031/32. The unveiling was also met with protests against the end of the historic Meazza as a stadium.
Milan and Inter unveiled the Generali Stadium on Thursday, October 29, the project for their future shared home in the San Siro area. The venue will have roughly 71,500 seats and was designed by the studios Foster + Partners and MANICA.
The name comes from a commercial agreement with Generali, the Italian insurer that will give the new venue its identity. The presentation took place at the Castello Sforzesco, where images of the project were shown.
The design aims to bring the stands closer to the pitch. It will have two tiers and, behind the goals, continuous sections with slopes of up to 37 degrees, meant to concentrate the fans' atmosphere.
On the outside, it will feature an X-shaped concrete structure and a double-curved roof. The design includes solar panels and acoustic solutions to amplify the sound of the crowd.
The timeline announced by the clubs calls for construction to begin in 2028 and for the first match to be played in the 2031/32 season. Both targets depend on the necessary permits and on how construction progresses.
The project will also transform the surrounding area: it will include public spaces, green areas, shops and leisure zones to keep it active all year round.
What will happen to San Siro?
The change will also affect the current San Siro: the urban plan calls for the partial demolition of the Giuseppe Meazza and for the part that remains to be adapted for new uses. The two clubs acquired the stadium and the surrounding land in November 2025 through a joint company.
The transformation faces opposition. During the event, a group of Inter fans unfurled a banner and protested against the demolition of San Siro.
Milan and Inter will keep sharing a home. If the timeline holds, the derby will move to the Generali Stadium in 2031/32 and San Siro will no longer be the stadium we know.
