Inter and Milan will know whether they can proceed with plans to build a new San Siro by the middle of November, Corriere della Sera reported today.
The clubs submitted a Technical and Economic Feasibility Study to the city council last week, marking the first official step in their bid to create a more modern stadium.
The Municipality of Milan have 120 days to declare a public interest in the plans, fixing their deadline at Thursday 7 November.
City mayor Giuseppe Sala has pronounced himself against the idea of a new stadium, encouraging Inter and Milan to revamp the existing San Siro instead, but both clubs have rejected that idea.
Corriere also revealed some of the smaller details of the clubs’ study, explaining how the new San Siro will cause less noise pollution for local residents.
Unlike the current ground, the stadium would be sealed at the sides by a ‘closed central case’, ensuring noise could only escape upwards and not in all directions.
Inter and Milan also intend to create a 55,870-square metre green area, increasing pedestrian and tree-lined paths and encouraging ‘soft mobility’.
The clubs also want to create 2,800 new parking spaces beneath the ground level, with another 1,500 reserved for Milan’s new multi-purpose district.
