STADIO ADRIATICO

Pescara, Italy

Stadio Adriatico is a stadium in the city of Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy, which opened in 1955. It originated as a multipurpose facility and is a center of the CONI. The stadium is intended primarily for football and athletics and is the home stadium of the Pescara Calcio.

The stadium, which completed its renovation works in 2009, was the main stadium of the 2009 Mediterranean Games. It has in the past hosted several matches of the Italian National Football Team and was selected as a reserve stadium for the 1990 World Cup.

The oval stadium has been designed along the lines of the Olympic Stadium in Rome. From the point of view architecture, is of the solution of the strings used for the support forums. Initially, the stadium had one-level stands and can only accommodate 10,000 spectators. During the first promotion of Pescara in Serie A in 1977, the stadium has been the subject of the widening of the curves and the stands with the grafting of a second level on stage and so much to bring the stadium to be able to accommodate 34,000 spectators. At times, when before 1985 ( the year when the infamous Heysel Stadium Disaster) the rules for security were less stringent, the Adriatico has given place to 40,000 paying spectators.
