Description<\/h3>\n

Stadio di Palermo was a proposed new stadium for Palermo Calcio. It got presented in 2011 by its main advocate, Palermo chairman Zaparini, who had been toying with the idea of building a new stadium for years.<\/p>\n

The stadium would have a capacity of 35,000 seats, all covered. It would furthermore house several leisure facilities such as a cinema, gym, bar, wellness centre, and retail activities focused on sports.<\/p>\n

Palermo intended to build the new stadium at the site of the Velodromo Borsellino, which lies about 2.5 kilometres further north from where Palermo\u2019s current stadium Renzo Barbera<\/a> is situated (which is already toward the north of the city).<\/p>\n

Zaparini claimed that funding was in place, and that it could be built in only 6 months. <\/span>However, in 2012 progress stalled and the project was eventually abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n \t\t\n\t\t\t\t
