San Siro Stadium

All major cities who have historic sports teams offer a tour of the stadium to look back at some of the great moments that happened there. Fenway Park in Boston, Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden in NYC, Wrigley Field in Chicago and the Staples Stadium in LA are among a few in the US.

Here in Europe, soccer is king, and most of the great moments happened on the field.

Milan’s own San Siro Stadium that hosts both AC Milan and FC Inter is the only stadium to have a museum located inside. Built in 1926 for then AC Milan president Piero Pirelli, and later sold in 1939 to the municipality, San Siro was shared by FC Inter only after the 2nd World War.

And since the opening, the Stadium has held two world cups (1934 and 1990), many national team matches, the Champtions League finals in 1965, 1970 and 2001, as well as hosting most of Italys great players at some point in their career.

Sports museums are something that anyone can enjoy because they are fun. A good compromise for someone not willing to go to the Triennale (despite their awesome exhibits and cafe) or to see something cultural. Some of the greatest players in history of Italy have played for these teams- so the museum has a lot of really cool things to see.

And if you time it right, definitely check out a game if you haven’t already. Perhaps go to the museum in the morning and a game at night.
