History

The stadium, with a steel supporting structure based on a structural design by Eng. Luigi Corradi and architect of the arch. Vincenzo Acciarri, was built in the mid-80s and awarded at European level as the best sports work in steel and prefabricated reinforced concrete. It was inaugurated on 10 August 1985 with a friendly match between S.S. Lazio and S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio, although many consider the unofficial inauguration of 13 August 1985 with a friendly match between A.C. Milan and Sambenedettese, a team that competes in the home matches and has its registered office, as well as 20,000 spectators in the stands.
