half recostruction, as usual
Saying a half truth is the best lie
It's the way, for example, how italian press works.
Before the match, the column of Juventus supporters' buses that was getting to the stadium was blocked and attacked by Atalanta's supporters, also with firecrackers. Then Juventus supporters reacted to that and there was some incident, with some slight wounded.
The climate inside the stadium got obviously nervous, and there was that reciprocal throw of flares.
Information, first.

Yeah I know, I read about that after I posted. I didn't know about what happened before the match until later, I was just posting what I saw on tv at the time. But since no one had responded to my post anyway, I didn't bother to correct it. As much as I hate Juve, I wasn't reporting it wrong on purpose.

This Sunday Udinese - Atalanta will be the last game at the current stadium Stadio Friuli which will undergo renovations.
Here are some renders of the new stadium that will have a capacity of 25k
Now the fans will be close to the pitch
arty1:
Sampdoria have also submitted plans for a new stadium while Roma also have a new arena in the works. Finally Inter Milan are seeking new investment which they hope will allow them to fund a new stadium.
It appears that Serie clubs are learning from the example set by Juventus and their new stadium.

It is a downgrade in terms of seating capacity, the Friuli currently seats around 30k. But otherwise, looks great.

Yes - 'Contracts have been signed and, now, it is official: Udinese Calcio has been given the landlease of the Friuli stadium area for the next 99 years. The official agreement was signed earlier this morning with a notary.
The agreement provides for the grant of the landlease of the area targeted at increasing its value through the renovation of the structure, as well as the management of surface activities. This act represents the overcoming of the fundamental turning point to give green light to the renovation works of the stadium at the end of the season.'
Basicaly they are renting it for 99 years and in return only have to pay 45,000 euro per year. Owning the stadium will allow them to greatly increase their revenue. As far as I know they will become only the second Serie A side to own their stadium after Juventus.
Here is an interesting read on the stadium and how other teams could benefit by following in their footsteps http://blogs.thescore.com/counterat...model-for-serie-a-in-stadio-fruli-revolution/
It's perfect for Udinese. Most Serie A stadiums are half empty which can affect the atmosphere.Their average attedance is around 17k so this will actually have an extra 8,000 seats allowing plenty of room for new supporters.
Regarding Inter this is old news but may be of Interest to some of you:
Inter are hoping to finalize a deal with investors by the summer in order to proceed with plans to build a new stadium according to reports in Italy.
Owner Massimo Moratti has stated on several occasions that he is interested in leaving the San Siro for a fully owned stadium ready to be opened in 2018.
A deal looked to have been reached with the China Railway Construction Corporation last August, but that deal fell through.
As a result, Sky Sport 24 are reporting that three different groups from the USA, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have had serious talks with the Nerazzurri with regards to becoming investors in the club.
Managing director Marco Fassone has been hard at work in the negotiations as the club hope to find investors to reinvigorate the club’s financial situation in hopes that they would also contribute to the building of a new stadium.

Inter are looking into 3 locations currently:
They believe that a new stadium could be key to tackling the new financial fair pay rules. They currently pay hefty fees at the San Siro.

I an torn about Inter building a new stadium. On the one hand, owning your own stadium is a great source of revenue, and wouldn't need to share a stadium with those red and black guys anymore either. But the San Siro is beautiful, I can speak as someone who's been there, I'd miss it. Lots of history there too.

Yeah I believe only 15% of their revenue is generated from match-day income which is very low. Attendances are down too. I'm not sure it is worth playing in an 80k stadium when your attendance average is 44k. Surely the atmosphere suffers. On top of that isn't the San Siro in pretty bad shape at the moment?
Roma look likely to be the next team to build a new stadium. Owning your own stadium could be very important when the financial fair play rules come into play.

On derby days it fills up, but other than that yeah it's barely half full if that. And yeah, some work could be done. When I said beautiful I meant it in a different way, if you get what I mean.
