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 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.[3]

The San Siro is a UEFA category four stadium. It hosted six games at the 1990 FIFA World Cup and four European Cup finals, in 1965, 1970, 2001 and 2016.[4] If the city of Milan bid with Cortina d'Ampezzo, Val di Fiemme and Valtellina is successful for the 2026 Winter Olympics this stadium would host the Opening and Closing ceremonies, being the largest stadium to do this, narrowly beating Beijing National Stadium if 2022 ceremonies aren't fully sold-out events.
Construction of the stadium commenced in 1925 in the district of Milan named San Siro, with the new stadium originally named Nuovo Stadio Calcistico San Siro (San Siro New Football Stadium).[5] The idea to build a stadium in the same district as the horse racing track belonged to the president of A.C. Milan at the time, Piero Pirelli. The architects designed a private stadium only for football, without the athletics tracks which characterized Italian stadiums built with public funds.[6] The inauguration was on 19 September 1926, when 35,000 spectators saw Inter defeat Milan 6 3. Originally, the ground was home and property of A.C. Milan. Finally, in 1947, Inter, who used to play in the Arena Civica downtown,[7] became tenants and the two have shared the ground ever since. From 1948 to 1955, engineers Armando Ronca and Ferruccio Calzolari developed the project for the second extension of the stadium, which was meant to increase the capacity from 50,000 to 150,000 visitors. Calzolari and Ronca proposed three additional, vertically arranged, rings of spectator rows. Nineteen spiralling ramps each 200 metres long gave access to the upper tiers. During construction, the realisation of the highest of the three rings was abandoned and the number of visitors limited to 100,000.[8]

On 2 March 1980 the stadium was named for Giuseppe Meazza (1910 1979), one of the most famous Milanese footballers.

Two Milan derby Champions League knockout ties have taken place at San Siro, in 2003 and 2005, with AC Milan winning both matches. The reaction of Inter's fans to impending defeat in the latter match (throwing flares and other objects at Milan players and forcing the match to be abandoned)[9] earned the club a large fine and a four-game ban on spectators attending European fixtures there the following season.[10][11][12]

Apart from being used by Milan and Internazionale, the Italian national team occasionally plays games there.[13] It has also been used for the European Cup finals of 1965 (won by Inter), 1970 (won by Feyenoord), and the UEFA Champions League finals of 2001 (won by FC Bayern Munich) and 2016 (won by Real Madrid).[4][14]

The Temple of football in Milan ... the Scala della sport ... history, myths and legends reside on the stands and on the pitch of this sublime place in the center of Milan. For a football fan, a visit is a must, even if only from outside. For all the others too, it deserves!

First experience in a stadium but I think there is nothing better in Italy, although I don't follow football it was very exciting, to be repeated surely, to complete the sandwich outside in the Calabrese pick-up truck, top in the end!

The atmosphere and emotions transmitted by this stadium and by the fans who fill it every day of the game is impossible to describe. You have to live it. It is the only way. Buy a ticket, no matter where. So low that More

The terrible experience. 18 for a stadium that is under renovation, which looks terrible on the inside, unheard of and a so-called "museum" with a few shirts in a container. Miserable

Went here when Spurs played in the UEFA Cup competition (2013). Horrible experience for overseas fans - stuck up in the highest part of the stadium with perspex and netting in your view. They assume we're all bad and will be throwing stuff at the Italians sitting in the tier below.

And as for the toilets, well. How shocking an experience. I've seen better facilities in third world countries in Asia and that's saying something. Jeez

The scale of the Milan football that allows you to welcome 80 thousand spectators and that has recently seen host the Champions League final. Superb museum with the possibility to visit the inside of the stadium and the changing rooms.

Stadium. Without a doubt the most beautiful ever! It has its history and its charm, you can see the game well and feel the chills of the games. A dream to be there during the match of your favorite team! We hope the two companies invest in this magnificent structure to make it even more beautiful!

The stadium is in a very convenient location to reach by bus and the M5 metro line. The only flaw is the dirt and the difficulty in easily arriving at one's entrance gates due to disturbances or traffic jams. All this is amply rewarded by the breathtaking view and the atmosphere you breathe

The San Siro football arena is home to the two most titled Calcio teams; Inter and Milan. Its modern architecture ensures the creation of a pleasant atmosphere for the fans who come in large numbers to encourage their favorite team.

Always suggestive and with its own charm. The structure no longer of the latest generation pays a little and is affected by the level of comfort. An example: we got wet from the rain despite being totally covered (separate area). But what a stage show ....

Worst experience in my life, can't even see any picture of the football player... no lukaku no Sanchez ...

The stadium really does not look good. Somehow, as the Allianz Arena and the Rheinenergie Stadium have a child that has decided to become a cargo port. Inside there was only liquid scat ice (called iced tea in scrape ice cream cups) and coke. 15,000 Frankfurters had to share 2 toilets. You sit very cramped. The glass front covers part of the playing field.
