Key stats<\/h3>\n

Club: Brescia Calcio | Opening: 1959 | Capacity: 16,743 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Stadio Mario Rigamonti opened in 1959. It was named in honour of Mario Rigamonti, a player of the great Torino team that died in the Superga air disaster.<\/p>\n

The stadium hardly changed in the next decades, and by the 2000s it had significantly deteriorated with a reduced capacity from an initial 27,500 to just over 16,000.<\/p>\n

Brescia therefore started looking into the possibility of building a new stadium, but for many years all plans failed and at some point the club even threatened to move to a stadium out of town. It didn’t come that far though and the club and city are still in talks to find a way to get a new stadium built.<\/p>\n
