Architect Norman Foster describe di building as “low in the body, and it rises up at either end” behind di goals. Stadium specialist David Manica, wey collaborate with Norman Foster on di project, talk say di design start with proximity and di aim na to bring spectators as close to di pitch as possible. Di stands behind di goals go get steep 37-degree incline.
David Manica explain say, “The most important thing that we realised when we designed this project is that the San Siro is a feeling. It’s more than a building, it’s a feeling, and everything that we needed to do here was to carry it into the (new) building.”
E add say, “We brought all the seats as close as possible to the field. They could not be any closer, it’ll actually feel as though you’re sitting on the grass.” Di roof go cover di stands and leave only di pitch exposed, so e go help “amplify the roar” of fans, according to David Manica.
Di stadium specialist also explain why di new building steep pass many other new stadiums. “This building is steeper than many other new buildings are built today, and that’s intentional, because it allows us to bring those seats up and over the field as much as possible, and create that sense of intimacy and atmosphere,” e talk.
