After the events of Catania and the debate on security in stadiums, Lotito, which have long been fighting to build a stadium property has, as was natural, again the problem. A company listed as the Lazio can not rely only on revenue of television rights but must patrimonializzare, this also requires a stadium proper, inserted into a multipurpose structure
which could also produce income. Lotito has so far received the same negative replies that they had received all those before him had fought for a stadium own: the president of Rome Dino Viola in the eighties and the chairman of Lazio Sergio Cagnotti the end of the nineties. The first wanted to build the stadium to Magliana and the second to Bufalotta. Their idea was to cozzare fact with the presence of two stages in the city: the Olympic and Flaminio.
The response of Lotito, with regard to the Olympic is this: this is not a football stadium, too large and dispersive, with poor visibility in many areas. For this reason he declined the offer of a co-cones of the stadium along with Rome. Now Lotito proposes to go outside the municipality of Rome to Riano, to Fiumicino or Valmontone. In the case of an exit from Rome, Valmontone should be the most suitable, having a dedicated equipped leisure among the most important in Italy, while in other places the stage insedierebbe in a real desert in which someone should take the necessary infrastructure. Many fans, however storcono mouth in front of an idea to transfer outside Rome more Roman team, the oldest. And they want to be taken into serious consideration the offer of Mayor Veltroni Flaminio stadium renovated, with the possibility of creating a contiguous at the multipurpose Lazio, which has become a structure full of life at all hours of all day, even when there is no show. And the closeness precisely the Auditorium could keep alive the structure stadium. A live stage, just stood in the area where ancient Rondinella, the field where the Piola played and Sclavi, for a tifoseria active and proud of its origins and its history. But the party of the stadium outside Rome boasts solid arguments. It would be important at this moment that Lotito opening the debate, comparing not only with the tifoseria but also with civil society and the culture of capital. Even Lazio because it belongs to, beyond
Property shares, in Rome, its history and its culture.
