Inter and AC Milan are due to present the rendering of their new stadium on 29 October at 16.30, with the event set for the Castello Sforzesco. The clubs are moving from planning toward a public presentation of a project that carries a stated 2031 completion target and a decisive authorisation stage expected in 2027.
The old Meazza is still central to the schedule. Milan-Inter is due to be played there on Saturday 31 October at 20.45 before any demolition begins, and the clubs bought the stadium and the surrounding areas for €197 million.
The planned timeline
The key date is 29 October, when the first official rendering will be shown in public. It is the clearest sign yet that the project is leaving the behind-the-scenes stage and entering a more visible phase.
The timetable that has been set out keeps the story firmly in the future, not the present. The clubs aim to complete the new ground in 2031, but the process still has a major checkpoint in 2027 before anything like a finished stadium can be talked about.
Keeping San Siro alive during construction
The practical detail that shapes the whole plan is the westward shift of the new pitch. It should sit about 350 metres west of the current one, allowing Milan and Inter to keep using the Meazza while construction goes on.
That arrangement also explains why the old stadium stays in use for now. Only after the move to the new facility will the partial demolition of San Siro begin, which means the clubs are planning a phased handover rather than a clean break.
The design itself also hints at the direction of travel. The planned capacity is 71,500, just under the current ground's more than 75,000, while more than 13,000 seats are expected to be premium across hospitality, corporate and high-value services. The clubs are not just building a replacement, they are building a different business model.
The rendering on 29 October will not close the story, but it will put the project into public view in a way that has been coming for months. After that, Milan-Inter on 31 October will still be played at the Meazza, with demolition waiting until the new ground is ready.
