It arrived a little while ago official note of the Milan regarding the project of new stadium rossonero a San Donato Milanese, arrived after Beppe’s declarations RoomMayor of Milan, on the alleged incompatibility of two stadiums in the city.
The official note
“With regard to what has been reported by the media on the new stadium project in San Donato, AC Milan underlines that the proposal presented insists on a private and buildable area, on which there was already an approved Integrated Intervention Plan, which allows the construction of 108 thousand m2 of GFA.
As reiterated several times, the area involved in the construction of the Stadium does not fall within the Southern Milan Agricultural Park, it is not a green space, but is currently abandoned and degraded. Following the planning of the Municipality of San Donato, which identified it as an Area of Intervention for urban regeneration, Sport Life City (a company controlled by AC Milan, owner of the land) is operating with the State Police and the Municipality of San Donato to reclaim the entire area and make it safe, freeing it from crime and bad habits.
The sector benefits from infrastructures such as the San Donato station, reachable by the railway link, and the M3 metro stop, which is only 1.2km away. The nearby Rogoredo station is conveniently connected with high-speed railway lines from Naples, Rome, Florence, Bologna, Turin and Venice. The site can also be reached via the A1 motorway, for which new exits and entrances are expected, and from the pre-existing Metanopoli ring road, which already has a junction. Furthermore, several studies on traffic flows, also carried out recently, have highlighted the absence of critical issues in accessing the new stadium.
The project finds no incompatibility with the possible construction of a new Inter stadium in Rozzano. The distance between the two structures would in fact be 13km as the crow flies (18km by car), while for example in the city of London there are eight stadiums built at even much shorter distances”.
