Empoli:"Today we present our idea of redevelopment of the Stadio Castellani: we have the will and the strength to do this, because we believe it is an opportunity for l'Empoli, for Empoli and a bit 'for all." The administrator delegate blue Francesco Ghelfi spoke today at a press conference to present the project to rebuild the stadium Carlo Castellani "We think it is a great opportunity - continued Ghlefi - useful and functional in the respect of everyone and everything. This restructuring would expect removal of existing curves, replacing them with two new structures attached to the field, creating in the belly of the curves of the spaces and office complexes. In addition, the project carried out by the Clean, it calls for the renovation of the grandstand, which will also see the creation of sky boxes, new seats and other files closer to the field that would replace the field box. Finally, everything will be surrounded by a ring honeycomb polycarbonate that recalls the most famous stages. The capacity will be similar to the present, with about 17,500 seats, all covered, which could reach 20,000, if in the future new instructions arrive from the League. The project does not track d'atletica but l'Empoli has labored to allocate an important contribution to moving in this town's other area. At the economic level the intervention involves a commitment d'euro from 10 million to 11 million, which could reach thanks to the rental of commercial areas that should be born and that would also create many new jobs. We are well underway with two partners who were more than willing to invest. " "I think it is an opportunity for the city and for the citizens as well as a way to enhance this area - he said the marketing manager Rebecca Courses - It will also be one stage with zero impact: Enegan, which will provide the solar panels that will be placed above the cover to feed the stadium, would acquire the name of the stadium, although Carlo Castellani will still remain also in the new denomination. "As for the timing - he concluded Ghelfi - follow what has been done by Udinese in the league last year. For our part, we would be ready to go again next spring and plan to complete the work in a matter of de championships. I also want to emphasize that this project will not go speculating of nothing: our only goal is to gain a technical advantage, building a stadium which brings the public and that can make you feel more heat to the players and year-end carry some important point.
