About San Siro
The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, commonly known as San Siro, is a football stadium in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy, which is the home of A.C. Milan and Inter Milan. It has a seating capacity of 80,018, making it one of the largest stadiums in Europe and the largest in Italy.
On 3 March 1980, the stadium was named in honour of Giuseppe Meazza, the two-time World Cup winner (1934, 1938) who played for Inter and briefly for Milan in the 1930s and 1940s. The stadium is famous for its eleven cylindrical towers that support the third tier and the roof. These towers serve as ramps for spectators.
Often called "La Scala del Calcio" (The Opera House of Football), it is revered for its towering stands and formidable atmosphere. It has hosted four European Cup/Champions League finals. The distinct red girders of the roof and the spiral towers make it an instantly recognizable architectural icon of Milan.
