Inter Milan and AC Milan share the iconic San Siro stadium, but that wasn’t always the case! In the heart of Milan, you can find the oldest stadium that the city has to offer: Arena Civica. A stadium that Napoleon Bonaparte himself commissioned, and was finished in the year 1807. It’s still standing to this day!
About 100 years after it’s construction, it began to get an increased use for football matches, and at one point, was Inter Milan’s home stadium. Giuseppe Meazza and the Inter squad of the 1930s won many titles at Arena Civica, and the ancient stadium was held closely to both the club and supporters hearts, even after moving to the San Siro. Arena Civica is where Inter played prior to San Siro, so we will go over some of the history of Inter Milan, the history of Arena Civica, as well as early Italian football history in general!

You should know how to pronounce Civica … chivica – is that more clear
Amazing idea Adrian, can you do the Highbury?
Hi Adrian, video request here: please make a video about Amorim as his name comes up a lot as a possible replacement for Klopp. As you know the Portugese league so much more, I'm sure you could give insights others can't.
A video we didn't know we needed. A stadium built by Napoleon and modelled around Circus Maximus? If I ever go to Milan, I'm seeing it before San Siro.
damn I‘am an inter fan but did not knew that
Do a history about Juventus stadiums in history
It's pretty interesting to see the fact that the 5 major city derbies in Serie A is unique than the others. The two clubs from the same city had a ground-sharing traits. Inter Milan and AC Milan play at San Siro, AS Roma and Lazio play at Rome's Olimpico, Sampdoria and Genoa play at Marassi (Luigi Ferraris), and ChievoVerona (until 2021) and Hellas Verona play at Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
Not to mention, during the period when Juventus' Delle Alpi was demolished for the new one until 2011, they played all of their home games at Torino's home ground!
Adrian, say it with us 🔴⚫️ FORZA MILAN SEMPRE…!!!!!
Really good idea with the history of the arenas!
Adrian splashing some great History knowledge 👏 👌 👍
I would love this to become a series 😍
Loved the video! I think a video on the history of where club America ad Chivas played before their current stadiums would be quite fun as I think Mexican futbol history is super underappreciated
I wonder how much ticket prices would be back in the 1900s 😅
I can’t stand that Italian teams play in the same stadium 🤦🏻♂️
A video on Estadio Centenario??
I didn't expect to enjoy history by Adrian as much I did, definitely would love to see more man
Brilliant video, as always, Adrian ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Man the YouTube algorithm isn’t being nice to you lately :/ don’t give up hope
Support to the History series
I remember the Greenland National team played there once.
Adrian is in his Oversimplified phase and I am here for it!!!!!
In my opinion if Inter change their stadium, I think they should renovate this.
Nice idea for the new series. Gonna check it for sure if you decide to make another one 👍
Fantastic watch 🙏🏿
Genuinely thought we were about to be hit by an April Fool's Day video when i saw the title.
Your series related to history mate. Keep it up. Almost thought this was an April fools joke.
Please do more!!!
Stuntpegg has a video visiting the ground, it's pretty cool.
Hm a video about Jamor could be interesting
Great video Adrian. I'm an Inter fan from UK, and I have actually been inside the Civica…. It does have a magical feeling
Where did they get water to flood the stadium and bring ships in it?!?!?!
ok then before the bernabeu here we go
Thank you for this!❤🔴⚫
Would you be interested in making a video about Stade Brestois?
This is currently, by far, the best season in club history, one which could result in their first ever qualification for Europe in over 70 years of existence as they sit currently in the 2nd spot in Ligue 1. There's a fascinating story to tell, from going bankrupt and slowly climbing back, to various great names that played there such as Ribéry, Makélélé or José Luis Brown, to the story of the Brest president going up against the Colombian drug cartel.
i smell an april fools joke xD
wait for real? damn
The level of intellectual rigor and critical thinking among women here is impressive.💕
