Tonight’s derby between Inter and AC Milan will have over 70,000 spectators present in the San Siro, according to Rome based newspaper il Corriere dello Sport.
However, the numbers could be even higher. The ticket office opened this morning, but the stadium cannot be completely full due to the third ring being closed, due to the vibrations it would cause.
The report also highlights other events in Milan tonight that will impact the number of spectators, namely the Fashion week this week and the concert tonight of Jovanotti.
However, the areas reserved for the Nerazzurri fans are completely sold out, with empty seats elsewhere within the stadium.
There are also many VIPs in the stands, such as Hristo Stoichkov and former Inter striker Ronaldo, as well as the President of FIFA Gianni Infantino. However, Italy coach Roberto Mancini is not expected to attend, nor former Milan player Marco Van Basten.
The players’ jerseys tonight will feature a special patch of the Fondazione Milan, with the shirts being auctioned off after the game with the proceeds going towards the work of the foundation.
