Stadio Artemio Franchi – Montepaschi Arena
Stadio Artemio Franchi – Montepaschi Arena is the home of AC Siena. The stadium has a capacity of 15,373 seats.
Stadio Artemio Franchi opened on the 8th of December 1938 with a friendly match between Siena and Empoli. The stadium was initially simply called Stadio Comunale, and only received its current name in 1986. The addition Montepaschi Arena was added in 2007.
The stadium received various renovations over the years, most significantly in the mid-2000s after the club was promoted to the Serie A,\ and several new stands had to be built to comply with Serie A standards.
Getting there
Stadio Artemio Franchi lies on the edge of Siena’s historic centre, right next to the Basilica di San Domenico. It’s just a 5-minute walk from the central square Piazza del Campo or the Duomo.
Siena’s train station is located slightly further away outside the centre. The walk should still not take more than half an hour, or take one of the many buses into the centre. Most buses will drop you off right by the stadium.
Address: Viale dei Mille 3, 53100 Siena
Tickets
Tickets for AC Siena games can be bought via any of the Listicket sales outlets, or one of the other selected sales points. Central ones are at the Via Rinaldini 9, the Via Banchi di Sotto 33 (both right by Piazza del Campo), or the club store at the Via della Sapienza 27 (closer to the stadium).
The club store is also the place where tickets can be bought on the day of the match. Siena attendances are typically around 10,000, but the club does tend to sell out the matches against the Milan clubs and Juventus.
Tickets cost either €25.00 or €45.00. For more information call +39 0577 271288 or email biglietteria@acsiena.it.
