Building Of Serie A Side AS Roma Stadium To Start Fall 2015

Serie A side AS Roma President James Pallotta says the building of Roma's property stadium "will start this autumn," according to FOOTBALL ITALIA. The American tycoon was reported by Ansa to have "been in a meeting with the Roma board of directors" Wednesday to analyze the team's crisis. Pallotta: “We're still on the same timetable. Hopefully [we'll start work] this fall. It should go through by then for putting shovels in the ground. It's actually going pretty well. Everyone wants it -- the mayor, the city council -- it's just an incredibly complex project. ... It's not a football stadium that's only for football. There's an office park, there's a training facility, there's 300,000 square feet of live entertainment space. There's going to be festivals and concerts and American college football games. So it's a very, very complicated facility" (FOOTBALL ITALIA, 3/3).
