History

The stadium in 2022

Stadio Brianteo, located on the north-eastern outskirts of Monza, was built as a replacement for the Stadio Gino Alfonso Sada, located in the city center near the station. The construction works started after a long debate and lasted a long time due to the technical difficulties in the construction of the structure that supports the coverage of the grandstand and the changes to the project in progress. Initially an athletics track was planned, but it was eliminated during the works.

The stadium was inaugurated on 28 August 1988 during the Coppa Italia match against Roma, which ended with a score of 2–1 for Monza, with goals by Casiraghi, Giannini, and Mancuso.[ citation needed ]
