Smurph Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Roma are getting a new stadium. It was officially announced by the club today. Stadio Della Roma. It looks fantastic. You can order food from the seats! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Over the next few years we'll be seeing a lot of Italian clubs doing the same thing; the financial benefits of owning your own stadium make a huge difference and Juventus are already seeing the results of it. Udinese already have plans in place for theirs, with quite a few other teams thinking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udinese already have plans in place for theirs, with quite a few other teams thinking about it. And here it is: I love how they're building it down into the ground, bit different and gives you the option of expansion above the surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just a shame Toto won't be playing in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just a shame Toto won't be playing in it. Do clubs usually have a "glamour" friendly to open a new stadium? If so I imagine Totti will be involved in that regardless of whether he's retired or not, a Director said he wanted Totti to be the first player on the new pitch, and Totti himself wants that (imagine the fans would too), so its possible they'll set something like that up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It's good that the Italian clubs are getting their act together. Lots of their grounds are pretty iconic, but the safety standards at some of them are pretty shocking, and the views for fans must be horrendous at the multi-purpose ones like Napoli. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Windsor Park - it looks great, but will never replace the atmosphere of the current ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Windsor Park - it looks great, but will never replace the atmosphere of the current ground. Is Windsor park not also linfields stadium? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) It is not "also" our stadium, it is our stadium, the IFA rent it for Internationals. Sadly, we rarely fill it.

mrcat1990 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It is not "also" our stadium, it is our stadium, the IFA rent it for Internationals. Sadly, we rarely fill it. Yet Linfield are moving into what looks like a much bigger stadium? Does look smart mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Smart, but lacking in any character. It is a joint venture with the IFA, and their needs dictate the size. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I believe Landsdowne Road's anomaly came about because of listed buildings at one end. I actually think it was down to locals complaining their houses wouldn't get enough sunlight if a second tier was added to the North Stand. This is to be a joint stadium for York City and the local rugby team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I actually think it was down to locals complaining their houses wouldn't get enough sunlight if a second tier was added to the North Stand. My pal in Dublin who attends ALL Ireland home games told me that it was a long protracted battle but the fact they were listed Georgian buildings meant that the stadium had to be designed that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll know more about it than I do, just I seem to remember reading somewhere about how people complained about the lack of sunlight they would get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 That happened when they built the north stand at Windsor in 1980'something. Apparently it caused problems with sunlight, and also affected the chimneys in local houses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
