Ciao tutti !

Just wanted to know if anyone knew the place (Stadio della Alpi) where The Police will play in October, 2? Can some of you give some infos (capacity, access, sound, etc.)? It'll be much appreciated.

Officially, the stadium can sit 69041 people, without counting people standing on the pitch, obviously

It is one of the most crappy stadium in Italy.
Lower tiers of seating are under the pitch so you can't see all the pitch from there.
Seats are generally distant, being a running track.
I've also heard the roof isn't very effective against rain etc..
It's outside of the town, but seems there are 2 "tram" that goes there.
Do a google search about "stadio delle alpi" you will find more informations.
And I guess the sound is crappy as well, from some recordings I've heard

Thanks to you both for the informations!

Ouch! It seems it's not the best place... But it's the closest one to Provence (4 hours drive), as the boys seem to not want playing around there.

It's probably the less comfortable stadium in Italy,very small.

Although it's a bit of a bummer to get there from the city's main train station, it's very easy to reach if you're driving and there's plenty of parking space too. Accessibilty for wheelchair users's pretty good throughout the whole stadio unless you want to climb up to the third tier, of course! Been there at least a couple of hundred times to watch Torino play.
Well, should you need more info, drop me a message!
