[edit]I think you need add some details like what the closest metro station to the stadium, tram or bus. it can be interseing...
Move
[edit]I've moved the article from Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to here for a number of reasons.
- The official Milan website call it the "San Siro" and make no mention of the name "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" - [1]
- Almost all templates on Wikipedia have "San Siro" written on them.
- Almost all links to the San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza article are titled "San Siro"
- A presidence has been set with the Nou Camp article. This is not the stadiums official name.
- The vast majority of people call this stadium the "San Siro". In popular culture it is the "San Siro".
- Google search for San Siro brings up 1,690,000 links which a search for "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" brings up only 160,000.
- For a lot of people such as Lulu, Madonna and others, its their stage name which is being used and not their legal and official name. I believe the same should be set as a president for other articles.

I have edited this article's introduction to match this alternation. --Tk TommyKim (talk) 22:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- The official, and correct, stadium's name is Stadium Giuseppe Meazza, because:
- The official Milan website call it the San Siro (AC Milan's fans refuse to call it by its real name, becasuse although Meazza played for both teams is more a symbol for Internazionale) but it makes mention of the name change in 1980. - [2] (In the section called "The second development").
- In the Italian, German, French and Spanish Wikipedia articles they call it Giuseppe Meazza.
- In Google Maps (and in any map) the stadium is called Giuseppe Meazza. Try searching...
- The remaining arguments are not valid from the point of view of a encyclopedia. No matter how many templates, links, people... call it San Siro... the fact is that its real name is Giuseppe Meazza and this must be the title of the article.
- In a serious encyclopedia the last name of the definition/article is always the correct, so all alternative names should link in last place with its correct name, Giuseppe Meazza.
- And the problem with Camp Nou is not comparable to this. The name Nou Camp simply does not exist.
- So I strongly recommend the change of this article title. I hope you understand my English. Greetings. --TEPEX (talk) 14:27, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Milan: San Siro
Inter: Giuseppe Meazza —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.231.169.91 (talk) 11:07, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
In addition to the Milan website, the Inter website clearly calls the stadium, "San Siro".[3]
The official website of the San Siro and San Siro Museum also has San Siro in it's web address. http://www.sansirotour.com/

Niall123, some of your arguments make sense, but most of them are pretty lame. In the google research you typed "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" intead of just "Giuseppe Meazza". Most links replace the word Stadio for its translation. Of course, you might say, if we type just the name Google can return several links about the player Giuseppe, not the Stadium, and it is impossible to verify how many of the millions of links are really about the stadium. But this kind of problem also might happen when typing just "San Siro", which has other meanings too. Also, several links that appeared in your research about San Siro can be texts that chose Giuseppe Meazza instead of San Siro, but San Siro would still be in the link if they give the stadium's location. I see no problem in having the stadium's nickname in the title, as other articles do so (Maracanã (stadium) and Mineirão, for exemple). But when there is controversy about the nickname the best solution is to use official names. If we have the title as San Siro, some Inter supporters might complain about bias and if we put Giuseppe Meazza, AC Milan supportters will complain. But in the second option we can defend the title with a reasonable explanation: it is the name of the Stadium, so it can't be considerate a biased choice, it is just the truth. 189.13.251.149 (talk) 23:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Good evening everyone, I live in Italy not far from Milan and I'm an Inter supporter. The official name of the stadium is ONLY "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza"; here in Italy we call it "San Siro" just because it was its old name, and we are fond of that historic and prestigious name. Nevertheless, since 1980 it has been just a nickname given by sentimental and nostalgic italian supporters and football's lovers and NOT the official stadium's name, so I wish someone will move the article back to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in order to be as accurate as possible. Thank you, good night. ----Shmaflik (talk) 21:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Question
[edit]I just want to ask - isn't San Siro the name of a district where stadium is actualy located (as for example Arsenal Stadium was usually called Highbury or Boleyn Ground is well known simply as Upton Park)?
Vilnietis 17:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
The attendance statistic for Milan 2006-2007 season is wrong. The correct number is about 47,000(depending on different sources). Could editor give any citation of the attendance table? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.66.34 (talk) 18:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, i would like to ask to you how did you put the interactive map in the info box. Thank you it. [[User: Matteteo02 (talk) 16:18, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Most famous matches
[edit]- 2007 A.C. Milan - Manchester United 3-0 (UEFA Champions League Semi-final, second leg)
How can that be one of the most famous matches? if you take all the UCL matches (or just all semi's) played on San Siro, the list would become too long... there wasn't anything special about that game.
What's the basis for the "most famous matches" section? Has there been a survey about them or something? And was the 5-1 thrashing of Inter by Arsenal and the first loss of AC Milan in the San Siro in European competition (2-0 to Arsenal) not a "famous match"?Wan2tri (talk) 10:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
stadium sharing
[edit]--Vaibhavbajpai7 (talk) 17:52, 1 March 2008 (UTC)Hi i am a Milan fan from india,
Just wanna know if the stadium is shared by two top teams in serie a , how does pitch remains palyable and whats done if both these teams are drawn a home match?
- They play a home match every other week. --89.97.35.70 (talk) 00:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- The two teams that play in that stadium are as you know, Inter Milan and AC Milan. Indeed they do play their home matches every other week. When the two meet in Serie A (twice) one technically has to be the away team, but obviously they're both at "home." During the European competitions (whether Champions League or UEFA Cup) either of them gets a "home" game of theirs moved to a usually non-European competition week due to the two having a conflict in scheduling. Wan2tri (talk) 12:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Last famous match
[edit]The last match listed is the derby played on the 07-08 Serie A, but I think a rather more important match was the one played on September, (AC Milan - Internazionale, 1-0) in which Ronaldinho scored his first goal with Milan. So before switching/adding the info I thought I might discuss about it first. - The Silver Raider 16:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheSilverRaider (talk • contribs)
Ownership
[edit]Is it really owned by Milan as it says in the infobox? I thought it was a municipal stadium. --59.100.53.227 (talk) 07:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
Changes to previous versions and common mistakes about the name
[edit]The stadium was never, ever, referred to as “Stadio San Siro” in Italy. Since San Siro is the name of the district in which the stadium is located, and not the name of the stadium itself, “Stadio San Siro” would be grammarly incorrect in Italian. “Stadio di San Siro” should be used instead, the preposition “di” signifying the whereabouts of the stadium, i.e. the stadium which is located “in” (the district of) San Siro. The stadium is most commonly referred to as simply “San Siro”, but it must be noted that “San Siro” still refers to the location and not to the stadium itself. “San Siro” is not, and never was, the name of the stadium, either official or unofficial. The official name of the stadium has been “Stadio Giuseppe Meazza” since 1979, while the previous official name was “Stadio Comunale” (i.e. “Municipality Stadium”).
For reasons stated above the whole article should be moved back to "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.32.147.4 (talk) 03:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I understand what you're saying, but people rarely call it "Stadio di San Siro," but they just call it "San Siro." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.62.160.138 (talk) 06:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Although Giuseppe Meazza played for both Inter and Milan, he enjoyed more success at Inter and is more favoured by the Inter faithful; as a result, Milan fans favour the term San Siro for the ground. ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. Here, in Milano, nobody call the stadium as Giuseppe Meazza or Meazza. Everybody call it SAN SIRO. EVERYBODY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.32.176.22 (talk) 17:34, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- It's simple. San Siro is the name of the district where the stadium is located. The proper name is "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" (because it is dedicated to Giuseppe Meazza, just like the Santiago Bernabéu stadium is dedicated to Santiago Bernabéu), but it is commonly referred to as "San Siro" because it is located in the "San Siro" district of Milan. So "San Siro" is basically wrong because "San Siro" is in the first place a district of Milan, just like Giuseppe Meazza and Santiago Bernabéu are in the first place persons and not stadiums. So... the article title was "Stadio Giuseppe Meazza" but you changed it to "San Siro" (which is not a good choice). We could use "Stadio San Siro" (it is somewhat used in the San Siro stadium official website) but it doesn't sound good in Italian language and nobody would say "let's go to the Stadio San Siro". We could use "San Siro Stadium" or "San Siro stadium" but "stadium" isn't really part of the name. So... I'm going to move the page to "San Siro (stadium)" so we have the "San Siro" name but we don't confuse it with the name of the San Siro district of Milan. ekerazha (talk) 11:55, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
Dress Code
[edit]This section seems highly dubious as it does not appear in the French or Italian versions of the article. What's more, it differs stylistically from the rest of the article and of wikipedia in general. Requires a reference, or should be deleted. Vitomontreal (talk) 16:01, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Inter vs. Milan home/away fans
[edit]During the Derby della Madonnina (Milan Derby), do the "home" team supporters receive a greater allocation of tickets? There is no mention of it on the Milan Derby page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cognizes (talk • contribs) 14:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
