Home found for new AS Roma stadium
Italian football club, AS Roma, has confirmed that the club's new stadium will be built on the Tor di Valle site located on the south-western outskirts of the city. The site lies on the banks of the Tiber River and is currently occupied by a racetrack which will be demolished.
The 55 - 60,000 seater stadium was designed by sports and entertainment architect, Dan Meis, who said: "In 25 years which I have been in charge of stadium projects, I have never met fans so passionate about their team. No one deserves a stadium more than the squad and fans of AS Roma"
The stadium is expected to cost between €165m (£140m, $216m) and €210m (£178m, $276m) and the club hopes to move into the new stadium before the start of the 2016-17 season.
The construction of a new stadium is the latest global brand-enhancing and revenue-generating move that AS Roma President Jim Pallotta has made since acquiring the team in December 2011.
