San Siro Stadio is the western terminus station of Line 5 of the Milan Metro.

The works for the construction of the station began in November 2010,[2] as part of the second section of the line, from Garibaldi FS to San Siro Stadio.

This station is one of the two stops of this second section where a tunnel boring machine was used to build the galleries.

Since this station is situated near San Siro stadium, it was designed to accommodate a high people flow.

[3] For this reason, besides the regular exits, there is also a large entrance equipped with full height turnstiles able to regulate the flows coming from the stadium; this will allow the entrance of maximum 500 people every three minutes to avoid overcrowding of platforms after large events at the stadium.
