Juventus Stadium History

Background

Juventus’ previous permanent home, the Stadio delle Alpi, was completed in 1990 to host the 1990 World Cup matches. The club’s move from its previous ancestral home, the Stadio Comunale, to the Stadio delle Alpi was controversial. The new stadium was built at great expense, was relatively less accessible, and had poor visibility due to the running track. Despite Juventus being the best-supported team in Italy (with the most TV subscribers and away section attendance), attendance at the Stadio delle Alpi was dismal. The average attendance was only a third of the stadium’s capacity of 67,000. The club bought the stadium from the local council in 2002, a decision that was popular with the fans. Antonio Giraudo, general director of the Club between 1994 and 2006, commissioned the project to the architect Gino Zavanella; the initial project already included features that would be typical of the final version, such as cutting the oversized capacity of the Delle Alpi by nearly half and removing the running track.

Juventus moved out of the unpopular stadium after the 2006 Winter Olympics held in the city and began plans to build a more intimate and atmospheric venue. During that period, they played their matches at the newly renovated Stadio Olimpico, which was also unpopular due to its low capacity. In November 2008, the club unveiled plans for a new 41,000-seat stadium on the site of the Stadio delle Alpi. The new stadium, built at a cost of 155 million euros, has modern executive boxes, among other novelties. The completion of Juventus Stadium made Juventus the only Serie A club to build and own their stadium at the time. The club’s then president, Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, described the stadium as “a source of great pride”.
