in order to reduce the visual impact on the existing urban fabric, the structure will be partially positioned underground, and will not exceed a total height of 30 meters. the venue can be easily accessed by public transport and is forecast to create 1,000 jobs during the construction phase alone. developers hope that the stadium will be ready within three and a half years – ahead of the 2018/2019 serie A season.
