Juventus unveil New Stadio Plan

Bianconeri have unveiled the plans for their new futuristic stadium, which will be ready for the 2011-12 season. Juve presented their application for the new ground last March and the new development will be on the site of the old Stadio Delle Alpi. The new stadium with a capacity of 40,200 and represent an investment of around £90m. The stadium will be named after a sponsor.

only 40K seat??? that is small for a big club like juve..

Not too sure whether it will draw enough crowd to fill the stadium. As currently the attendance in Serie A match is poor apart from the top team clash.

agree with that...even the derby match..the stadium still have a lot of empty seat...

I think Juve want a stadium for themselves as of now they are sharing it with Torino (if I'm not mistaken) and most stadiums in. In Italy are owned by the local council and I heard from the Sportcenter that this will be the 1st stadium not owned by the local council (thus the name after one of their sponsor)

Torino has their own stadium, it's called Stadio Olimpico di Torino. It was only shared with Juve until 1990 after Delle Alpi was built. When Delle Api is under renovation later, Stadio Olimpico will be temporarily shared with Juve.

Only 40k? Half the EPL already have 40k stadiums. Of of those, even the non-big 4 like Villa, Spurs & Everton are planning to move/upgrade to 50-60k capacity

If Juve can just fill a 40k stadium how will they be able to compete with even clubs like Everton & Spurs in the future? Buffon to Spurs? Ibrahimovic to Sunderland?

the Stadio Olimpico owner is the City of Turin (local council) not the Torino club itself

@ berserk, Italian League and BPL is two different class..BPL clubs gets more exposure on tv, and at least BPL commentary isnt boring , thats why they need a bigger capacity stadiums...i dont think clubs like Everton can even compete with Juve, just because of a simple fact that Juve have much more success in their club history...

but i do agree that 40k is a little bit small for a new stadium. Of course wont expect them to build another Camp Nou or Bernabeu la, but at least hit the 50-60k threshold...

i guess they did that for some reason...
maybe too much holigan fans out there..?

cos Italian league have lots of closed door match...
i guess that would be one of the reason for them huh ??

i guess some of the commercial space has occupied part of the stadium with shops, bars and more, will occupy a total area of 355,000 square meters. There are more than 4,000 parking spaces, 8 areas restaurants, 24 bars, 459 press seats, 84 sky boxes, 34,000 square meters of commercial and 30,000 square meters of green...

Good explanation there stilo10. Coz from the picture, it looks like it can occupy more than a 40k seater..

that makes sense then, though there is no hotel like at chelsea or new housing complex next door like at Arse.
