Milan Studies Everton's Experience as Part of the New San Siro Stadium Project
AC Milan sent an official delegation to the city of Liverpool to visit Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium as part of a fact-finding mission related to the project of building a new stadium in the San Siro area, according to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'.
In November, both Milan and Inter officially acquired the San Siro site, including the famous Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, which was previously owned by the city council. This acquisition is a crucial step in the path to constructing a modern stadium at the same location.
According to reports, the clubs intend to demolish the majority of the current stadium to make way for a modern facility capable of hosting matches for the UEFA European Championship 2032. The new stadium is expected to be built at a nearby location, but not directly on the ruins of the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, which means construction could begin in 2027, with the current stadium being demolished in 2031.
The newspaper explained that the Milan delegation included five representatives and aimed to study the details of Hill Dickinson Stadium, which was opened in 2025 and has a capacity of 52,769 spectators. It hosted its first Premier League match at the start of the 2025/2026 season, replacing Goodison Park, which had been in use for 133 years.
The visit to Everton will not be the only stop in Milan's exploratory tour, as visits to other European clubs are expected in the coming months. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Signal Iduna Park are among the models the Italian club is drawing inspiration from for its new project.
