Stadio della Roma is a planned stadium for the Serie A team A.S. Roma which would built in Rome where the Tor di Valle Hippodrome is located in. As of July 2024, archeological surveys were halted by the TAR of Rome, and construction of the stadium is supposed to begin in early 2025 after the surveys will be completed. The planned location is near the Roma Tiburtina station and the stadium will be reachable via the A91 highway which links the city with its main airport, by Suburban railways and by Line B's Quintiliani station. [1] The planned capacity is of 52,500 spectators. The stadium was designed by American architect Dan Meis with engineering firm SCE Project and Arup, the design has taken inspiration from the ancient Colosseum. Features of the stadium will include luxury boxes, and 14,000-seats reserved for the Ultras of the Curva Sud in the current A.S. Roma Stadium. [2]

Background

The stadium and its facilities will be built on the site of the current Tor di Valle Racecourse, which is served by the Tor di Valle station of the Rome–Lido railway. Plans called for service on Rome's Line B subway to be extended to the station, and on to Muratella, a train station on the FL1 railway that is across the river from the site of the proposed development. [3] Besides the main stadium, plans were made to build additional venues for music, entertainment and shopping, as well as training facilities, [1] bars, restaurants, and a Nike SuperStore. [4] The stadium, the fifth in Italy to be privately owned and financed, has been estimated to cost €300 million, but the total cost for all the facilities and venues, including infrastructure improvement works, would have been around €1 billion in 2014 figures. [1]

Development

In 2016 Goldman Sachs gabe a €30 million loan to Stadio TDV S.p.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of NEEP Roma Holding, for the pre-development cost of the stadium. [5]

On 2 February 2017, the Region of Lazio and the mayor of Rome rejected the proposal to build a new stadium, [6] however, the proposal was later approved on 24 February after adjustments were made to the stadium's design and construction. [7] In August 2017, the stadium was hit by another delay, and a new plan started to be developed in September. [8] Roma subsequently renewed their lease with the Stadio Olimpico until 2020. [9] In December 2017, the plans were approved, and the stadium was expected to open in time for the 2020–21 season. [10] On 26 February 2021, it was announced that the stadium project was halted. [11] In 2024, archeological surveys were planned for later on in the year to then begin construction of the stadium. The surveys started in April, then recommenced in May after a short pause, but were again halted in July by the TAR of Rome after numerous complaints made by various businesses in the area. The club will present a new plan for the stadium by the end of the summer season, with construction expected to begin in late 2024 or early 2025.
