Juventus Stadium
The Juventus Stadium is the recently completed new stadium of Juventus FC. It offers a capacity of 41,000, of which 3,600 premium seats.
The Juventus Stadium replaced Juventus’ old stadium, the Delle Alpi, where the club had only been playing since 1990. However, the Delle Alpi had always been a source of dissatisfaction with the fans, with its athletics tracks, poor sightlines, and lack of atmosphere, and as early as 2003 plans were made by the club to build a more atmospheric stadium. Construction of this stadium, at the site of the Delle Alpi, began in March 2009. During the construction Juventus played its matches at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Juventus Stadium officially opened on the 8th of September 2011 with a grand opening ceremony and a match between Juventus and Notts County (1-1). Notts County was chosen as the opponent because of the histories ties the clubs have since 1903 when Englishman and Juventus player John Savage arranged for Juventus to wear the black-and-white kit that Notts County traditionally play in.
