History[edit]

Riviera delle Palme Stadium, late nineties.

The stadium, with a steel supporting structure based on a structural design by Eng. Luigi Corradi and architect of the arch. Vincenzo Acciarri, was built in the mid-80s and awarded at European level as the best sports work in steel and prefabricated reinforced concrete. It was inaugurated on 10 August 1985 with a friendly match between S.S. Lazio and S.S. Sambenedettese Calcio, although many consider the unofficial inauguration of 13 August 1985 with a friendly match between A.C. Milan and Sambenedettese, a team that competes in the home matches and has its registered office, as well as 20,000 spectators in the stands.[3][4] The stadium recorded its highest capacity at 23,000 people during a match in 1997.[5]

The roof of the stadium has a photovoltaic system, with 4,546 solar panels in polycrystalline silicon of 220 nominal power.[6] It is the second Italian stadium, after Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, to use solar panels.[7][8]
