Great football stadium and easily accessible (using Milan Metro line 5, stop at San Siro Ippodromo).
Visited twice in May 2017.
First for the stadium tour, which was very flexible (you can pick rooting for AC Milan or Inter, both fans would be entertained and informed about each club's palmares and history). Tour started in the hall of memorable players' shirt, with short history of consecutive players on each shirt below. One side is dedicated for AC Milan, the other is for Inter. The tour has very clear signage, also provides a pitch visit and photograph taking, and ended in the merchandise store.
Second visit was for the match: AC Milan vs AS Roma. Crowd started to form circa 90 minutes before the game, while the food kiosks opened a bit earlier, with mostly stuffed-bread and Italian snacks. Entrance was designated clearly for each spectator and the queue was quickly cleared off. The match went well, security worked well too, and the atmosphere was great. Beware of picking time to go to toilet, because if you depend on break/half time only, you would face a long queue. Clearing off the spectators after the game was also designated very neatly by security and local police officers, using open-closed system of Metro access.
If you love football, especially Italian, this is a must visit for you.
