Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

In the following years, starting in 1975, the stadium underwent various interventions and modifications that partially distorted its original characteristics: the athletics and cycling tracks were removed, with subsequent reconstruction of the central grandstand and extension of the stands up to the edge of the playing field after the installation of metal bleachers; in the process, the opening in the middle of this section of the bleachers, which allowed a view of the lake from the covered grandstand, was also closed.

Additional grandstands were then added to the east curve (partially dedicated to the visiting fans), the masonry part of which was instead rebuilt, so that in the 2002-2003 season Como was able to play in Serie A in a facility with a capacity of around 14,000.

Minor interventions followed over the years to keep the facility in line with the required standards: in the 2015-2016 season, Como had to play its first home matches in Novara because in the summer renovation work was still being carried out on the stadium.

[5] In 2017 the roofing of the "Tribuna", still today the only covered sector of the facility, was rearranged, forcing Como to play some of the matches of the 2017-2018 season in other cities.

[12] For this distinctive feature, the stadium was labelled as "the most beautiful in the world" by the famous Italian sports journalist Gianni Brera.

[14] A complete renovation of the facility has been discussed for years, in order to make it fully suitable for Italy's top leagues, as well as how the current problems of managing the flow of people in such a central area of the city can be overcome.

[16] The project plans the future expansion of the seats up to 15,000, as well as a redevelopment of the area surrounding the stadium, and it is expected to be completed by 2028.

[20] Pope John Paul II's helicopter landed at the Sinigaglia stadium here on 4 May 1996 on the occasion of his visit to the Italian city.
