The new stadium project for Inter and Milan continues to take shape with increasingly defined details. The architectural firms Manica and Foster + Partners, commissioned to build the facility, have included an element that represents an absolute novelty for Italian football.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the entrance tunnel to the pitch will be transparent, with a glass wall that will allow some spectators to be just a few meters from the teams. A solution already seen in the stadiums of Tottenham and Manchester City, which will now also be introduced in Milan.
The mechanism will be simple yet impressive: the corridor connecting the locker rooms to the pitch will have a glass wall, beyond which the Tunnel Club fans will be positioned. These are those who have purchased tickets for hospitality areas with a restaurant or exclusive suites of about ten seats located near the field.
These spectators will have the opportunity, in the minutes before kick-off, to approach the glass and observe the players’ expressions from a privileged perspective. A point of view until now reserved exclusively for television cameras.
The stadium project is still far from being completed and will keep the two architectural firms busy for the coming months. The goal is to create a modern and innovative structure, capable of offering fans a unique experience in the Italian football scene.
