San Siro
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Opened 1926 And Rebuilt Three Times, Shared Home Ground Of AC Milan And Internazionale With A Capacity Of About 75,000 · Milan, Lombardy
Two clubs share one ground here, which almost nowhere else in football does, and the ground has a split personality to match: on alternate weekends the same bowl is red and black for Milan or blue and black for Internazionale, with different banners, different chants and a different name depending on who you ask. Officially it is the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, after a player who turned out for both. Everybody calls it San Siro, after the district. It was built in 1926 as a rectangle for Milan alone and has been rebuilt around itself three times, most visibly for the 1990 World Cup when eleven concrete helix towers were bolted to the outside to carry a third tier and a roof, which is why it looks like a machine rather than a stadium. It holds about seventy-five thousand and is loud in a way televised football does not convey. There is a museum and a tour on non-match days, though both are curtailed around fixtures, so check the calendar rather than the opening hours.
Piazzale Angelo Moratti, Milan, Lombardy, 20151, Italy
NO OPENING TIME HERE WAS CHECKED. The structure: the museum and stadium tour run daily on non-match days with timed slots and a last entry well before closing. THEY ARE CURTAILED OR CANCELLED AROUND MATCHES AND EVENTS, which is decided by the fixture list rather than a calendar. The football season runs August to late May with European ties midweek from September. The club stores keep retail hours. Check the fixture list, not an opening time, and confirm the ground's status given the redevelopment proposals.
