He'll probably celebrate his 700 match with 5 minutes against Cesena or something
Would you rather instead that he celebrate it by playing for 90 minutes and have us lose? If we're winning, or we need him for a tactical reason, then let him come on. Otherwise, Juve winning > Del Piero reaching some landmark. That's how Conte should look at it, and he'd be stupid to look at it in any other way.

We can't name the stadium after a person who's still alive. We could name it the Scirea Stadium or the Umberto and Gianni Agnelli stadium though.
True, but we could name one of the stands after him. I think that would be appropriate for his 700th game (just time it so it's played at home). A ceremony where his name is unveiled on one of the big stands would be a nice gesture.

Would it make sense to buy next season's jersey with his name on it, even if he is no longer physically at the club?

Just found this quote:
“For a lot of people, Del Piero is still a Superhero. For me, Del Piero will always be the Superhero of Juventus. His role in this team? Superhero will always be a part of the team.” ~Andrea Agnelli

That quote is fake.

According to some smart people here, who claim they know more about the club hiding behind their computer screens, Andrea Agnelli and Pavel Nedved both hate Del Piero and want him out of the club forever. And anyone who says Del Piero is past it, or that he cannot be a starter anymore, is a fake fan.
