2026 Winter Olympics by the Numbers: The Athletes, Events and Milestones of the Milano Cortina Games
- On Friday, San Siro stadium, Milan will host the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony featuring Andrea Bocelli and Mariah Carey in its likely final major global event.
- AC Milan and Inter completed the purchase of San Siro in November and plan a new stadium by Sir Norman Foster and David Manica with roughly 4,000 fewer seats.
- San Siro, built in a record time, originally had a capacity of 35,000 and expanded to over 80,000, but now holds just under 76,000, reduced to 60,000 for the opening ceremony.
- UEFA has reacted by pulling plans for the 2027 Champions League final at San Siro due to timetable uncertainty and excluding it as a Euro 2032 stadium candidate.
- Reports say San Siro will be demolished in 2031 after its 2030 replacement, which is expected to be completed then, with club officials noting RedBird's support and the venue's legacy as the 'Temple of Football' hosting World Cups and concerts.
