About this place
Capacity & Structure
Today, the stadium seats 10,759 spectators (as of 2025), but has seen multiple changes over the years — from a velodrome and athletics track to a modern football-only venue. Its “Curva Azzurra”, rebuilt in 2002, houses the club’s most passionate fans. While the view of the lake once visible from the main stand is now obstructed, the stadium still offers one of the most scenic backdrops in football.
Renovations & Future Plans
After years of neglect and fluctuating capacities, Como’s recent success has driven major updates: new seating, pitch renovation, VAR systems, improved lighting (to accommodate the nearby seaplane base) and expanded stands — especially after their promotion to Serie A in 2024.
A full redevelopment plan has been proposed in 2025, aiming for 15,000 seats and modern infrastructure by 2028.
