Stadio delle Alpi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stadio delle Alpi is a football and athletics stadium in Turin, Italy, and was the home of both Juventus and Torino between 1990 and 2006. In English the name means "Stadium of the Alps", a reference to the nearby mountain range. Currently, the stadium is disused, with both football clubs playing their home fixtures at the rebuilt Stadio Olimpico until the fate of the delle Alpi is decided.
Designed by architect Studio Hutter, the delle Alpi was originally built in 1990 to host matches for the 1990 World Cup, as a replacement for the ageing Stadio Olimpico. The stadium's original capacity was 69,041 fans, however due to FIFA rules regarding the segregation of home and away supporters, the actual capacity is reduced to 67,229.
Construction on the stadium began in June 1988, and due to the use of prefabricated concrete, was complete within two years. The delle Alpi was built by the council of Turin, with both of the city's football clubs using it as their home ground following the closure of the Stadio Olimpico. It was originally intended to be used for not only football, but also athletics, therefore an athletics track was constructed around the outside of the pitch. However, due to the lack of a warm up track, the stadium has never been used for a major athletics event.The stadium was inaugurated on 31 May 1990 when a joint Juventus-Torino team defeated an F.C. Porto side 4-3. Due to escalating rental costs, disputes arose between the clubs and the city council. In 1994, the Juventus board investigated building a new stadium, which would be owned by the club. The UEFA Cup semi-final and final matches in 1994-1995 were moved by Juventus to the San Siro, Milan, attracting audiences of 85,000. The Stadio delle Alpi has very rarely been sold out in its history.Finally, in the summer of 2003, Juventus bought the delle Alpi from the council of Turin for a fee of around €25million.
