Stadium news #59
The renovation of the home of the Italian football club Fiorentina started a while ago. Part of the stadium is already demolished and various seats were removed. Bringing more seats closer to the pitch and cover more seats with a roof are both part of the renovation plans. The future capacity is projected to become at least 40,000. Fiorentina, the first Italian football club in a European championship final, seems to have regrets.
Fiorentina versus Florence
Fiorentina ordered the city authorities of Florence to halt the renovation work. A problem with lack of funds seems to be the main reason. An estimated €100 million or more seems to be necessary to finish the construction work. Although Fiorentina wants to halt the renovation, the renovation is continuing. According to the city authorities of Florence, Fiorentina was aware of all the details when signing the agreement. A court decision will probably take place within a few months.
