[1][2] The 55,000-seat stadium is planned to be built in the Pietralata area, which is served by Roma Tiburtina for high-speed rail and Quintiliani on Line B on the Rome Metro.

Set to cost €300 million, the design took inspiration from the ancient Colosseum, while features of the planned stadium included luxury boxes and 14,000-seater replica of the Curva Sud section in the Stadio Olimpico.

In 2016, Goldman Sachs gave a €30 million loan to Stadio TDV S.p.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of NEEP Roma Holding, for pre-development costs of the stadium.

[5] In August 2017, the project faced further delays, and a new plan was ultimately developed a month later,[6] with Roma subsequently renewing their lease on the Stadio Olimpico until 2020.

Archeological surveys on the Pietralata site started in April 2024, recommenced in May after a short pause, but were halted in July by the Regional Administrative Court of Rome after numerous complaints by local businesses.
