San Siro Construction - How it was built
For the occasion of the Soccer World Cup 1990, the Milan Municipal Administration decided to proceed with the refurbishment of San Siro Stadium after they turned down the idea of building a new stadium due to reasons of high costs and limited time available. Furthermore, the ‘Meazza’ stadium belongs to a sports and leisure complex, called ‘the city of sport,’ which has increased since 1887, the year in which the first horse racing course was established in Milan.
The motives and concepts behind the project, conceived by the City Council, can be summarised as follows:
to offer greater comfort to the spectators;
to guarantee the highest safety standards;
a project that provides a multifunctional use of the stadium so that it fulfills the role of a social, cultural, and recreational center apart from hosting football matches;
to ensure an architectural image which is coherent with the present structure;
The project, designed by Architects Giancarlo Ragazzi, Enrico Hoffer, and Engineer Leo Finzi, consists of constructing a third ring of stands, appearing as a continuous unit (but formed of totally independent structures) in contrast to the stands of the current existing second ring. As required for the World Cup 1990, the overall capacity was 86.000 spectators (all covered and with numbered seats).
The structure of the terraces of the new third ring rests on eleven cylindrical towers in reinforced concrete. These towers also provide access to the stands and various services and are independent of the existing construction. Four of these towers also support the reticular girders of the roof. Rectangular plates are attached to the load-bearing structure and support the roof made-up of curved shelters of polycarbonate. To give maximum comfort, all the seat places are new, numbered, and anatomically shaped. Furthermore, efficient catering facilities are provided for the spectators.
Along with the formal and functional extension of San Siro Stadium, the refurbishment of the field has also been planned, such as a new drainage and heating system, which has already been fully experimented within European stadiums.
Considering, finally, the technological installations with which the stadium has been equipped, the particular importance may be pointed out of the new floodlighting system for the pitch, allowing TV networks to broadcast the events with a high level of definition.

Bellissime immagini, un'opera spettacolare costruita piu' di trentanni fa.
Tutti i sollevamenti sono stati eseguiti da due gru alte 100 metri, costruite appositamente dalla Belleli di Mantova.
La trave in acciaio della copertura, quella più lunga, ha una luce di 205 mt e pesa 2000 tonnellate.
Non ci sono tanti video in rete, ma questo è uno dei più belli
