The Stadio Mirabello is a football stadium in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia in the province of Reggio Emilia the Region Emilia-Romagna . From 1919 until the move to the newly built Stadio Giglio in 1995, it was the home of AC Reggiana . The lower-class soccer team US Brescello followed until 2001. After that, the sports facility was dismantled down to the main grandstand. From what was once 17,000 seats on the four tiers located close to the field, 4,400 seats are still left today. From 2001 to 2012 the rugby union team ASD Rugby Reggio competed in the Mirabello . Until 2016, the facility was used by the first women's soccer team of the AC Reggiana Femminile , until it was absorbed into the Sassuolo Calcio Femminile .

history

In April 1910, the site was first used as a soccer field. The first wooden grandstand was built in 1913. When the AC Reggiana was founded in 1919; the stadium received another wooden grandstand, stepped standing room and a wall around the stadium. The wood rank got a roof in 1921. The buildings were built by Austro-Hungarian prisoners of war ; because at that time the sports facility was owned by the Italian Ministry of War.

In the early 1980s, AC Reggiana returned to Serie B and the grandstands were replaced with new buildings. In 1988 there was the construction of another tier. Reggiana rose to Serie A in 1993 . At the beginning the stadium was on the outskirts of the city; but over time the city grew and the residential buildings around the stadium. There was no way to expand the facility and, considering its age, plans were made to build a new stadium. In 1995, the inauguration and move to the new home of AC Reggiana took place, the Stadio Giglio (today Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore ).
