The forgotten stadium Inter & AC Milan played in BEFORE the San Siro

Inter Milan and AC Milan share the iconic San Siro stadium, but that wasn’t always the case! In the heart of Milan, you can find the oldest stadium that the city has to offer: Arena Civica. A stadium that Napoleon Bonaparte himself commissioned, and was finished in the year 1807. It’s still standing to this day!
About 100 years after it’s construction, it began to get an increased use for football matches, and at one point, was Inter Milan’s home stadium. Giuseppe Meazza and the Inter squad of the 1930s won many titles at Arena Civica, and the ancient stadium was held closely to both the club and supporters hearts, even after moving to the San Siro. Arena Civica is where Inter played prior to San Siro, so we will go over some of the history of Inter Milan, the history of Arena Civica, as well as early Italian football history in general!

Would you be interested in making a video about Stade Brestois? This is currently, by far, the best season in club history, one which could result in their first ever qualification for Europe in over 70 years of existence as they sit currently in the 2nd spot in Ligue 1. There's a fascinating story to tell, from going bankrupt and slowly climbing back, to various great names that played there such as Ribéry, Makélélé or José Luis Brown, to the story of the Brest president going up against the Colombian drug cartel.

It's pretty interesting to see the fact that the 5 major city derbies in Serie A is unique than the others. The two clubs from the same city had a ground-sharing traits. Inter Milan and AC Milan play at San Siro, AS Roma and Lazio play at Rome's Olimpico, Sampdoria and Genoa play at Marassi (Luigi Ferraris), and ChievoVerona (until 2021) and Hellas Verona play at Marc'Antonio Bentegodi. Not to mention, during the period when Juventus' Delle Alpi was demolished for the new one until 2011, they played all of their home games at Torino's home ground!

@andreac5047 Ай бұрын

Well actually Torino and Juventus shared the same stadium basically for 50 years. Torino moved from the legendary Filadelfia to Stadio Olimpico (at the time named Comunale) in 1963, the stadium that Juventus started using in the '30, and when Delle Alpi was built for World Cup 1990 both teams moved there for their home games. Then, as you say, they shared again Stadio Olimpico since 2006 to 2011 because Delle Alpi was demolished and Juventus was building their actual stadium. But your point on the sharing stadium culture that there is in Italy is really good

@ezraezra2928 Ай бұрын

@@andreac5047 That would be insane to see how unique Italian Football culture was, like ground-sharing traits. Just imagine Santiago Bernabeu is home to Atletico Madrid, along with Real Madrid, Old Trafford for Manchester United and Manchester City, and so on.

@@ezraezra2928 Yes, I know that a lot of people in Europe thinks that is an odd thing but I actually like this part of our football culture. It's going to disappear at one point with the teams building their own private stadiums, it makes sense and of course it'll probably increase earnings for them and italian football but I think that I'll miss all this

In my opinion if Inter change their stadium, I think they should renovate this.

renovation would be accompanied with extension which wouldn't sit well with Italians.

@andreac5047 Ай бұрын

Italian laws are really strong on old architettures, the idea is the preservation of all the historical buildings without important modifications. Arena Civica is a napoleonic structure, i really doubt that it's possibile to turn it in a modern 50-60.000 people capable stadium (AS Roma had same problem with a really less important structure when they're trying building their own stadium)

They built Arena Civica in an area where an ancient acequia was present, an artificial water underground canal that almost 600 years ago was normally used to flood Castello Sforzesco moat (the castle is like ten minutes far from the arena)
