#1 San Siro
The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, also known as the San Siro, was named after two-time World Cup Winner and legendary striker Giuseppe Meazza, who spent a major portion of his career at Inter Milan and had a brief stint at AC Milan also.
It has been the home of AC Milan since 1926 whereas Inter Milan made the move to the Meazza in 1947. Since then, the venue has played host to both the Milan clubs and staged the Milan derby ever since. There have been some legendary battles and historic matches in this stadium, such as the derby in the Champions League knockout rounds in 2003 and 2005, with AC Milan winning both times.
Other than playing host to both AC and Inter, the venue has served as a host for World Cup, European Championships, Italian national team as well as the European Cup and Champions League finals on four different occasions, the most recent one being in 2016 when Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid on penalties.
Due to the decline of both the Milanese giants, the level of the derby has stooped to all new level. Historically, the derby would attract crowds when both teams were competing for the Scudetto but now the tide has shifted with both clubs challenging for a top four spot or just a European place.
The Milan derby still attracts a huge number of spectators and the fans are always ready to go into battle with their arch-rivals. Despite the decline in fans turning up in other parts of Italy, the San Siro holds the first position for average attendance per game for the last two seasons, with the Internazionale fans occupying the top and AC Milan fans occupying second place.
The Chinese owners of AC Milan intend on moving the club to a new stadium. In December 2017, the COO of the club met with the representatives of the Milano City Council. There were also meetings in mid-2017 with the city mayor about the possible renovation of the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in order to modernise with the latest standards, with members from both clubs being represented in the discussion.
