The issue related to the stadium continues to dominate the debate in Naples. Speaking at Radio CRCAurelio De Laurentiis’ trusted architect Gino Zavanella commented: “I will present a project to the president, who will make the necessary changes and observations and then decide when to present it to the Municipality of Naples. Very soon I think we will present it to the president, already next week. We are waiting for the president to call us, since he has finished the basic part of the project. We are talking about concept. It is the first design phase in which we establish whether what we think of designing is correct and right. The basic plan is to move the stands closer to the field and, therefore, to eliminate the athletics track.
The first proposal is to bring the entire stadium closer to the pitch – he underlines TuttoNapoli.net – which would almost be a diminution or a destruction. The president would like to continue playing at the Maradona as much as possible. The second is to bring the curves as close as possible and extend the second ring to look for the lowest part of the grandstand, so as to bring it closer to the pitch with boxes and film boxes, which are the boxes on the edge of the pitch. After we have presented some solutions, the President will give his very important contribution and we hope to reach a conclusion on which of them to carry forward and close at least the first design phase.
Parking? It depends on the President’s choice. If we arrive at a drastic solution, it is obvious that there will be important spaces to manage, part of which will be dedicated to parking. There are two solutions for the curves: the first is that they could be left standing to be used for shows in the back stands, a solution that I honestly don’t like. The second is that if they are knocked down, space will be recovered
