Atalanta plan stadium renovations

By Football Italia staff

Atalanta hope to have their new stadium ready in 2020, constructed at a cost of €7.5m.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia in Bergamo will begin extensive renovation work from this summer.

Atalanta already gave the local council €2.5m to fund improvements.

Another €5m will be spent to renovate the ends – removing barriers and bringing the stands closer to the pitch itself.

New restaurants, shops and bars will also be constructed to make it a more week-long structure.

The side of the arena will be covered in ETFE, the same material used on the Allianz Arena in Munich and Udinese’s Dacia Arena.

The stadium is expected to be fully completed for 2020.
