Sportium, one of the two companies who are proposing a stadium design (the rings of Milano) have sent a letter to the newspaper Corriere della Sera saying the following:
"Dear Sports lovers, dear fellow designers,
The reconstruction of the San Siro stadium offers an unrepeatable opportunity not only to deliver to the city and its teams a system that is up to the latest generation counterparts all over the world, but also to redesign the entire neighbourhood. The project is not limited to aiming at the creation of a beautiful and efficient sports facility but is outlined as a process of urban, sustainable regeneration, which involves the San Siro district and, with it, the entire city."
"The 'Gli Anelli di Milano' project is the symbol of the union between the clubs, eternal rivals on the pitch but who have joined forces to preserve one of the most loved traditions of the city.
For the new stadium, we have designed a technologically advanced facility, with a high level of sustainability and particular attention to the easy and economical maintenance of the infrastructure for the future. We have imagined a new way of experiencing the stadium that will not only light up for big occasions but that can transform itself even when it will not host matches."
"A futuristic project, but with a deep bond with the past. The Rings of Milan constitute the Italian and Milanese vision of the new stadium that we think interprets the essence of sport: embrace, inclusion and life."
