The best stadiums opened in 2017 From Wanda Metropolitano to the Atlanta United's stadium

When someone speaks about stadiums in Italy it is always the same old story: a president announces the will to build a stadium, presents a wonderful and dreamy rendering of the structure but ultimately everything is lost between municipal administration, permits, delays, and tribunals. Italian football has a problem with stadiums: old, dilapidated, poorly equipped and above all not owned by the teams. Excluding Sassuolo, Udinese and obviously Juventus, none of the Serie A clubs have their own stadium, and this entails an endless series of problems, not least the incidence on turnover and the possibility of linking one's name to a winning brand.
In order to inspire presidents, mayors and Federcalcio, we at nss sports have selected the most interesting stadiums that were inaugurated in 2017, all abroad except one.

 

Wanda Metropolitano - Atletico Madrid

One of the most interesting stadium in recent years is undoubtedly that related to the plant that will host both the meetings of Atlanta United (MLS) and Atlanta Falcons (NFL). The reason to consider it almost a contemporary piece of art is the rooftop: it is composed by eight triangular panels that allow you to open and close the structure, whose roof is inspired by the Roman Pantheon. The American stadium, moreover, is in possession of the LEED certification (acronym of The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) of the Platinum type, which make it a unique in the States in terms of eco-sustainability. It has a capacity that can exceed 80 thousand units depending on the event hosted.
