Few stadiums can shine like San Siro when the occasion is there. The steep three-tiered stands, the massive rectangular roof consisting of red girders, and the eleven cylindrical concrete towers holding everything up make that there is no other stadium like it.
The San Siro as we know it, however, is still relatively new, and has only been like this since the 1990 World Cup. Before that, the stadium was a rather generic, though elegant, two-tiered affair.
While the city of Milan had initially planned to build a complete new stadium, lack of time and money resulted in a redevelopment instead. One of the leading architects of the project, Ragazzi and Partners, has kindly provided us with some photos of the plans, building works, and completed stadium, with the below photo gallery as a result.
