This stadium is considered a symbol of Milan and one of the most famous sports facilities, known La Scala del Calcio." The complex itself is located in Piazzale Angelo Moratti, in the northwest of Milan.
The stadium is divided into four main sectors - red, blue, orange and green. The spectator area consists of three tiers. In addition to the regular sectors, there are also VIP seats - skyboxes, VIP stands, press box.
Today the stadium can accommodate 85 thousand spectators. The last reconstruction took place in 1990 before the FIFA World Cup.

The stadium can be considered a true masterpiece of architecture.
