San Siro

Shared by Milan and Inter since 1947, with 11 spiral towers carrying the tiers; a new joint stadium is planned beside it.

San Siro has been the home of AC Milan since 1926, and holds 75,817 spectators for football. The playing surface is hybrid grass, and the record attendance of 100,000 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Milan.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Milan and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
