Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore




Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore is a multi-purpose stadium in Reggio Emilia, Italy.The stadium holds 20,084 and was built in 1995, replacing the Stadio Mirabello. It was given the name Stadio Città del Tricolore on 11 March 2012, having previously been called the Stadio Giglio. On 8 July 2013, the stadium was given the current denomination for sponsorship reasons (agreement with Mapei).HistoryThe need for a new stadium in Reggio Emilia started when Reggiana gained promotion to Serie A in 1993: the club launched multi years season tickets in order to raise money to build a new stadium of its property. The stadium was opened in 1995 with a sold out match between Reggiana and Juventus. In the aftermath of Reggiana's dissolution and reconstitution in 2005, the club lost the property of the stadium, which was assigned to the Tribunal of Reggio Emilia.The reconstituted Reggiana continued to play in the stadium and had its headquarters and its historical museum located in the Main Stand; in the same years the shopping mall "I Petali" was built behind the Away End and the East Stand, with a good range of shops, cinemas, gyms and restaurants. Stadio Giglio was renamed by the Municipality "Città del Tricolore", referring to the fact that the Italian Tricolour was created in Reggio Emilia in 1797.In 2013, the Tribunal hosted a public auction for the property of the stadium, which was won by the ceramic industry MAPEI, owned by former Confindustria president Giorgio Squinzi, which also owned U.S. Sassuolo Calcio, promoted in Serie A at the end of the 2012-13 season. The stadium was then renamed "MAPEI Stadium" due to sponsorship reasons.
