Description

The proposed new stadium would have been built on the site of the current Stadio Regione, and would have seated around 30,000 spectators. It was advocated by Palermo chairman Zaparini as a way to revitalize the club and bring in more fans. A stadium with a capacity of 35,000 seats would be constructed. It would also have several leisure facilities such as a cinema, gym, bar, wellness centre, and retail activities focused on sports.

Palermo planned to build a new stadium at the site of the Velodromo Borsellino, which is about 2.5 kilometers north of where Palermo's current stadium Renzo Barbera is located.

Zaparini claimed that there was funding available, and that it would be possible to build the project in only 6 months. However, in 2012 progress stalled and the project was eventually abandoned.
