Is Milan taking inspiration from the design of the new stadium at Hill Dickinson?

AC Milan is exploring design ideas for their new stadium by sending a delegation to visit Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.

AC Milan is in the preparatory stages for their new stadium project, and they have sent a five-member delegation to Liverpool to examine Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium, which opened in February of last year. The stadium, located in the Bramley-Moore Dock area, has a capacity of around 53,000 spectators and has received widespread acclaim for its modern design, made of steel and glass. It is also set to host matches during the upcoming UEFA Euro 2028 tournament.

The visit by Milan's delegation does not necessarily imply that their new San Siro stadium will resemble Everton's, but rather it is part of a broader study and benchmarking exercise that includes other top European stadiums. The club views such trips as routine, aimed at gathering ideas related to design, operations management, hospitality, fan experience, and matchday facilities. They are also particularly interested in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a contemporary example of multi-use stadium design.

As they move forward with their plans, AC Milan faces a race against time, needing to finalize their design and construction before the UEFA Euro 2028. This initiative reflects a strategic approach to ensure that their new venue meets modern standards and enhances the matchday experience for fans while remaining competitive in European football.
