The sports facility in the north of the city is now the home of AC Pisa . The facility is also known as L'Arena . The stadium has a roof over the main stand and today offers 14,869 seats. From 1919 to 1931 and 1949 to 2001 the stadium was named Arena Garibaldi after the Italian guerrilla fighter Giuseppe Garibaldi . It was named Campo Littorio under the fascist rule of Benito Mussolini in the 1930s and 40s . On December 9, 2001, the sports facility in the Porta a Lucca district was given the additional name Romeo Anconetani ; after the former President of SC Pisa who died in 1999 .

history

The site on which the current stadium stands has been used as a sports and event facility since the beginning of the 19th century . On January 28, 1807, Maria Luisa , regent of Etruria , gave permission to build an amphitheater called Arena Federighi , in which u. a. until 1849 horse races were held. In 1896 the theater was closed. In 1919 the Garibaldi arena was built in place of the old theater and on October 26th the official opening took place. At that time the arena consisted only of the playing field and natural grandstands. From 1929 to 1931 a stadium was built according to plans by Federigo Severini and renamed Campo Littorio . On November 8, 1931 was in the presence of the Italian King Victor Emanuel III. the inauguration of the stadium.

In the years 1947 to 1949 the Gioco del Ponte ( German  bridge games ) took place in the stadium of Pisa; after the Ponte di Mezzo bridge was destroyed in World War II. This city festival has been around since the 14th century . At the end of the 1950s, the stadium was supplemented by a grandstand in the north curve. At this time the arena got its old name Arena Garibaldi back. The last gap in the stadium was closed by the south tier built in 1968. Ten years later the curves were widened. In 1982 a new building replaced the old main stand. After SC Pisa rose to Serie A in 1990 ; the capacity was increased to 25,000 places. This was achieved by removing the athletics facility and lowering the lawn by one meter, as well as building stands on the edge of the field. There was also a new and stronger floodlight system .

New building plans

AC Pisa has been planning a new stadium since 2015. In mid-October 2017, the association presented plans for the new venue by architects Iotti + Pavarani Architetti . The new stadium is to be built on the site of the Stadio Arena Garibaldi - Romeo Anconetani , which was inaugurated in 1919 and, according to media reports, will cost around 30 million euros. When construction is to begin and how high the audience capacity will be has not yet been definitively determined. After the city council's unanimous approval of Mayor Marco Filippeschi's agenda, the next step is to examine the various financing options for the new venue.
