One of the world's most iconic stadiums, San Siro is shared by AC Milan and Inter Milan, fierce…read morecity rivals share the same stadium, this is a concept I've always found rather amusing, as you would never see a similar concept happen in the UK (in the modern era), just imagine Manchester City and Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton, or Arsenal and Tottenham sharing a stadium!
The shop inside the stadium is divided into two sides, one having all the latest gear from AC Milan, and the other side having the gear from Inter Milan, they've divided this area reasonably well, and I like the cardboard cutouts of certain players, including Edin Dzeko, who I have fond memories of back when the Bosnian played for Manchester City.
The stadium is located 5 km from Milan city centre, the number 16 tram does go right outside which is handy.
With a capacity of 80,018, this is the largest football stadium in Italy, which is around 10,000 higher than Stadio Olimpio, in Rome, which is the second highest.
I do think the state of the stadium has become old and sad, it originally opened in 1926, and the modern-day San Siro is a bit of a dump and has certainly seen better days, it's not a surprise to me at the rumours of this place being demolished and rebuilt after the 2026 Olympics.
The stadium is virtually crumbling, and I dislike the concrete columns, hopefully, a new arena will shortly follow.
A stadium with historical importance in Italian football, easy enough to get to, but sadly on its' last legs and it feels like it hasn't been renovated or had money spent on it in years. 3*
