AS Roma's New Stadium Will Combine History With Technology
Australian architectural firm Woods Bagot has taken on the enviable task of building AS Roma's new stadium in one of the world's great historical cities. The stadium will be the first carbon neutral stadium in Europe. Along with the natural grass on the pitch, it will hold 52 500 spectators with the option to expand to 60 000.

"According to Woods Bagot, the stadium will combine past and present aesthetics to reflect the rich history of Italy while also implementing technology, modern materials and the innovative and clean aesthetic associated with Italian design.
“The design draws visual cues from the world’s most historic spectator venue, the Roman Colosseum,” said Woods Bagot sport design leader, Dan Meis. “For an architect who has spent much of his career designing stadiums, and most of his vacations in Italy, the Stadio della Roma truly is a project of a lifetime.”
“Rome has an unparalleled architectural history. To be able to build anything there is a gift, to build a new home for AS Roma and the most passionate fans in football is heart stopping....”
"...According to Woods Bagot, Stadio dello Roma will be Europe’s first truly sustainable major sports venue with its carbon neutral footprint, maximum recycling capabilities and highly modern renewable energy and conservation programs.
While the stadium is being built specifically for football, it will be easily adjustable to house other events with features including retractable stage canopies, rigging and turf protection systems."

Stadio del Roma, Juventus’ stadium was built to be sustainable, with
features to reduce energy consumption and waste, as well as stringent
water strategies which reuse rainwater and reduce at least 50 per cent
of water needed for irrigation of the field. Concrete from the old
