Designed for a capacity of 20,000 spectators, the stadium has a single access front to the stands, favouring the compartmentalisation between the entertainment configuration and the reception and commercial functions. The presence of a system of internal connecting paths, based on the model of an urban boulevard, qualifies the covered areas, elevating them to spaces for resting and socializing.

The choice of the "English" model, by making the four main sectors of the stadium independent, makes it possible to consider one of the two smaller stands as a flexible element, which is configured as a mobile element capable of hosting structures for shows (stage, dressing rooms, mega-screens, etc.).

This theatrical backdrop can run for the longest length of the field by means of a system of rails provided inside the anti-intrusion moat, making it a highly versatile design element, since it guarantees the possibility of modulating the capacity according to the type of event.

The presence of a hotel, a business centre and a thematic catering system is intended to provide the area with a set of facilities that will facilitate the stay of the public, both at sporting events and at concerts or other performances.

The sports medicine centre, commercial areas and a fitness centre complete the functional framework of the complex: the park is the catalyst for the cultural and social objectives pursued by the project.
