STADIO ENNIO TARDINI

Parma, Italy

WSPE-539

Stadio Ennio Tardini, commonly referred to as just Il Tardini, is a football stadium in Parma, Italy. It is currently the home of Parma F.C.. The stadium was built in 1923 and was named after one of Parma's former presidents, Ennio Tardini. The stadium is the nineteenth largest football stadium in Italy with a capacity of 27,906 spectators, although Il Tardini is presently only authorised to admit 22,885. The stadium is the sixth oldest Italian football ground still in use.

In 2002, an agreement between the Comune di Parma and Parma F.C. saw the club obtain a lease of the stadium for thirty years. The agreement will allow the club to continue to renovate the stadium with the goal of optimising in-stadium services for fans and maximising matchday attendance.

In the summer of 2006, the top of the Tribuna East was demolished to make way for a new grandstand.

Although currently solely in use by the local football team, Parma F.C., the stadium was also once used by two rugby teams, Rugby Parma and Gran Parma Rugby, before they moved to the now demolished Sergio Lanfranchi Stadium.
