Brescia reveal stadium modernisation plans

Sunday 7th July 2019

Italian side Brescia have revealed plans to modernise their Stadio Mario Riganonti.

The club were promoted back to the Italian top flight after winning Serie B last season. The modernisation plans are aimed at bringing the stadium into the 21st Century and will also see the overall capacity increased from 16,000 to 19,500 as well as bringing fans closer to the pitch.

The club had originally explored building a brand new stadium with a 25,000 seater arena with retractable room previously on the cards. However, it seems the club has now abandoned those plans in favour of redeveloping their current stadium.
