“The city and fans deserve this a world class stadium. We are confident the Stadio della Roma will be among the best in the world and a key driver for the club’s continued success.”

The Stadio della Roma will offer a variety of venues for music and entertainment, including a 500-person stage in the AS Roma themed Restaurant, a 5,000 seat outdoor amphitheater, and a 13,000 seat amphitheater within the Stadium.

The club’s CEO Italo Zanzi took to the club’s official twitter account to add that the cost of the stadium would be around the €300m mark.

Pallotta also said that they hoped the stadium would help make the club one of the top three in the world.
