Rimini Stadium

The new Rimini stadium has been designed with a threefold objective: to blend seamlessly into the urban landscape, integrate with the historical and territorial context, and serve as a gravitational hub for the area. The underlying concept features an elevated level to optimize the flow of stadium-related activities, freeing up all sides of the base for direct street access. This design creates spaces dedicated to complementary and supporting activities, essential components of the “stadium system.”

Access to the new Romeo Neri Stadium is facilitated by four grand external staircases, two in the South/West section and two in the North/East section, allowing the public to reach the terraces situated at +8.20 meters above the field level. These terraces house bars, restaurants, and services that are available daily, not just on event days. Once past the turnstiles, visitors can reach their designated sector and, via distribution stairs, their specific row and numbered seat.

The existing stadium is thus transformed into a venue for sports and leisure, functioning seven days a week. It features multidisciplinary sports spaces, a sports medicine center, fitness and wellness areas, a wellness center, a baby parking area, lodging facilities, bars and restaurants, and commercial and office spaces.

The project includes the restoration of the historic facade designed by engineer Stramigioli in 1932. Made of brick, travertine, and white stone, this facade characterizes the view from Viale IX Febbraio 1849. Environmental sustainability and the green system played a crucial role in the conception of the new Rimini stadium. Design principles aimed at reducing energy costs and environmental pollution have led to the creation of optimized, sustainable spaces and volumes. Additionally, the project includes sidewalks, bike paths, and green areas, all integrated into the new green system. The stadium is designed to accommodate approximately 12,200 covered seats, comprising the main stand, the distinct stand, and the two curves (north and south). These form five distinct sectors, each with independent access and exits, as well as their own refreshment points and services, sized according to D.M. 18 March 1966. All seats are designed to provide an optimal view, as required by specific regulations. The renovation project, involving the demolition and reconstruction of the “Romeo Neri Stadium” in Rimini, aligns with FIFA, UEFA, and CONI standards and is made possible by the application of the so-called Stadium Law (Law 147/2013 and subsequent amendments).
