Encyclopedia > Stadio Delle Alpi

The Stadio Delle Alpi is a football and athletics stadium in the Italian city of Turin. It is currently used for matches by both Juventus and Torino Calcio; however, Torino is building a new ground of its own, which is expected to open in 2006. The stadium was built due to the reduction in size of the old ground, the Stadio Comunale, as well as for the 1990 World Cup. In typical game play, players attempt to move towards a goal through individual control of the ball, such as by dribbling (running with the ball close to their feet); by passing the ball from team-mate to team-mate; and by taking shots at the goal. ...

Notes

The poor reputation of the Delle Alpi Stadium has lead to some embarrassing negative records regarding spectator interest - or rather the lack of it. These facts are especially hard to understand if it is considered that Juventus is one of the most popular soccer clubs in soccer-crazy Italy:

It is expected to be redeveloped into a smaller 50.000 seat stadium. This would entail the removal of the athletics track and making the spectators closer to the action.

Stadio delle Alpi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (536 words)
The Stadio delle Alpi is a football and athletics stadium in the Italian city of Turin.
The Stadio delle Alpi was built due to the reduction in size of the Juve's old ground Stadio Comunale, as well as for the 1990 World Cup, in which the stadium hosted (among others) a memorable second round match between Argentina and Brazil, plus a semi-final between Germany and England.
The delle Alpi has a bad reputation among spectators; crowds complain that the stands are too far from the pitch due to a running track, and that the visibility in some areas is poor.
Lorenzo Matteoli (12243 words)
Lo stadio completato nel 1990 per i mondiali di Calcio ha ancora 20/30 anni di vita economicamente utile, e' in ottime condizioni e perfettamente funzionale, venne realizzato mediante una Concessione a un privato che integro' il finanziamento pubblico in cambio della gestione per trenta anni del manufatto.
Da allora lo Stadio delle Alpi deve essere per lui come una spina nel fianco: tutte le volte che vola con i suoi elicotteri sulle sue terre e vede scintillare la copertura di allumnio del grande anello alla Continassa deve provare il morso del dispetto.
Una analisi approssimata delle sezioni stradali di accesso e delle infrastrutture trasportistiche disponibili consente di ipotizzare che l'ultima auto di tifosi in uscita dal parcheggio dello stadio sara' in grado di entrare nell'autostrada verso le 22.00 ottimisticamente, ragionevolmente verso le 23.00.
