Bombonera inspires Juve stadium
Thursday 19 February, 2009

Juventus are modelling their new ground on the Bombonera, the legendary stadium of Argentine club Boca Juniors.

The Bianconeri have played at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin since 2006 and hope to move into their new home in time for the 2010-11 season.

“We want to build a sort of Bombonera,” Francesco Ossola, the chief engineer of the project, revealed in an interview with Turin based daily Tuttosport.

“A stadium that will appear suspended and light, that will give the idea of moving itself without energy

“Sheets of aluminium will cover the entire stadium and reflect the light giving the impression something is vibrating.”

A number of other clubs in Serie A are planning to follow Juventus’s lead and build a new stadium, most notably Fiorentina.
