AS Roma President Says Rejection Of Plans For New Stadium Would Be 'Catastrophic'

AS Roma President James Pallotta said that a rejection of his club's new stadium plans by the city council would have "catastrophic" consequences for the team, according to Ben Gladwell of ESPN.com. AS Roma is bidding to "build a new arena in a currently disused area of the city, but initial reservations against the idea have escalated" during a series of council meetings to discuss the project. A "definite answer on the part of the council over planning permission is due on Friday," and Pallotta expressed his hope that "the green light will be given, otherwise he says the future would be particularly bleak." Pallotta: "We expect a massively positive result from the meeting on Friday. The alternative would be catastrophic for the future of AS Roma, Italian football, the city of Rome, and quite frankly for future business in Italy." Roma has already invested upward of €60M ($63.5M) in the stadium project, "which is still stuck in its planning stage" (ESPN.com, 2/23).
