History
About San Siro
San Siro — officially Stadio Giuseppe Meazza since 1980, in honour of the Inter and Milan forward who won two World Cups with Italy — opened on 19 September 1926 as the private ground of AC Milan, financed by club president Piero Pirelli and built in roughly a year on a plot of farmland in the western quarter of San Siro from which the stadium takes its colloquial name. The original ground held around 35,000 across four rectangular stands. Inter joined as co-tenants in 1947 after years of sharing the older Arena Civica, and the two clubs have shared San Siro continuously ever since — the only top-flight stadium in Europe permanently shared by two of its city's elite clubs. The major rebuild for the 1990 FIFA World Cup, designed by Giancarlo Ragazzi and Enrico Hoffer, added a third tier supported on eleven concrete helical towers — four at the corners housing the spiral access ramps that have become the ground's defining architectural signature, plus a series of perimeter towers carrying the giant red girders that hold the canopy aloft. The redevelopment lifted capacity to today's 75,923 and is the reason the stadium is now Italy's largest. Both clubs have publicly explored a joint replacement on adjacent land since 2019, but as of writing San Siro remains the active home of both AC Milan and Inter.
Seating layout
San Siro seating plan & capacity
San Siro's three concentric tiers (anelli — rings) are stacked vertically rather than offset, which gives the stadium its near-vertical inner walls and a famously claustrophobic, pressure-cooker acoustic. The third ring (terzo anello) sits high enough that the front row is well above the second tier — among the steepest upper tiers in any major European stadium and a sight-line widely considered the most intimidating in club football for visiting players. The corner helical access ramps in the towers are the principal routes to the upper tiers; supporters walk up rather than escalator-ride, which is part of the matchday ritual. Premium hospitality is concentrated along the West (Tribuna d'Onore) at the secondo anello midfield.
Curva Sud (South Curve)
Stand behind the south goal — the spiritual home of AC Milan's vocal support and the headquarters of the rossoneri ultra groups including the Curva Sud Milano.
Curva Nord (North Curve)
Stand behind the opposite goal — the equivalent home of Inter's most fervent support, traditionally led by the historic Boys San and other nerazzurri groupings.
Tribuna Rossa (Red Tribune, East Stand)
Three-tier side stand with the executive level, press tribune and main hospitality boxes. The colour codes (red, orange, blue, green) date from the 1990 redevelopment and are used as wayfinding throughout the stadium.
Tribuna Arancio / Tribuna d'Onore (West Stand)
Three-tier stand opposite the East. Houses the directors' box, the players' tunnel, both clubs' dressing-room areas and the VIP entrance.

On match-day
Match-day at San Siro
Gates open 90 minutes before kick-off; for Champions League nights and the Derby della Madonnina (Milan vs Inter, the most-watched derby in Italian football) the queues at the corner-tower spiral ramps form 2 hours before. For the loudest atmosphere on AC Milan matchdays, the lower Curva Sud — for Inter, the lower Curva Nord. Concessions are predominantly cashless; the Peroni stands on the West concourse are reliable pre-kick-off bars. The AC Milan and Inter megastores are on opposite sides of the ground (West and East respectively) and open several hours before kick-off.
