Great thing about Trieste is you can do shopping and services across the border and it is far cheaper. Apart from being a town with a lot of character, probably deserves a team in a higher division. johnyb and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Salernitana made it back to Serie A their stadium hadn't been renovated since the last time their team was in Serie A in the late 90s. The stadium seating is large concrete steps where plastic seats had been added during the renovation. Prior to the most recent Serie A promotion half the seats were missing while most of the remaining were broken with sharp plastic edges making the seats unusable. This would be a lawsuit waiting to happen in North America. sebdeserio and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Italy is littered with lower division teams with 30k monster stadiums that were used for that 1 time they made Serie A ages ago.

The only way to get team scarves or jerseys is outside of the stadium from the knock off vendors. At half time everybody jams into the bars, one at each side of the stadium, to get coffees and a few getting a beer for 2 euro. This in contrast to North American sports where most fans usually end up spending as much if not more than the ticket price at the concession stands. gigi riva, costarg and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya very true I went to an Avellino game a few years ago they are in Serie C now but Serie B when I went I’m thinking 2017 it was, anyways they were in Serie A for like 9 years in the 1980’s . The stadium fits like 30000 it’s an enclosed stadium but has a running track around . There are no con sessions inside from what I can see and ya you buy stuff outside the stadium food and club apparel. Basically a big concrete structure with mainly seats all around . However , looked very old . But yes when full because it’s enclosed the atmosphere would be electric the sound stays in . Unfortunately no beer gardens or play areas for kids inside the stadium lol . Anyways ya a lot of stadiums in Italy have no concessions inside the stadium or even anywhere to buy team merchandise, it’s very strange . All the money these team are losing out on it seems but not having concessions in their stadiums seems very odd unless I’m missing something. However, I’m assuming the new Juventus stadium that Juventus actually owns would have concessions and they would sell team merchandise in their stadium. Moreover , I would assume a brand new stadium like that would even have corporate boxes that I’ve never seen in Italian stadiums either.

But yes being just a 20 minute drive from each other and from the same region of Campania Avellino and Salernitana are big rivals. Salerno is the gateway to that amazingly picturesque coast of towns the Amalfi Coast . MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving aside the point about lawsuits in North America, which have helped create entire societies who are allowed to not think for themselves and blame someone else for every dunce move, interesting to know the state of these stadiums. Take responsibility for your actions, human beings! I was watching Inter at Monza the other day, and Monza has a beautiful little stadium for a team that has hardly been in top flight.

Study architecture in Italy if you want to learn philosophy (which is great training too). I appreciate that the thinking with stadiums is maybe to focus more on content, spend money to put players on the field, but they've underestimated infrastructure. You could opt to spend on the players, on training facilities (often better than the stadiums themselves), but it runs counter to the more recent trend to upgrade facilities in line with the prestige and ambition of the club. In Italy they don't have funds to deal with cultural heritage, so much is outdated but "charming", there are closed museums, collections, heritage sites; they can't manage the legacy of the past, and they prefer not to spend on contemporary infrastructure. University buildings, schools, it could all use an upgrade. Edited January 16 by Unnamed Trialist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The irony of this discussion is Triestina actually have an interesting stadium for their level. No clue about the concessions though. Ruffian and The Real Marc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
