Frosinone Calcio (2017–) |
The Stadio Benito Stirpe (also known as Stadio Casaleno), is an all-seater football stadium in the Italian city of Frosinone, Lazio.
Designed in the mid-1970s and built in the second half of the 1980s, [2] the stadium remained unfinished for about thirty years. The stadium was completed between 2015 and 2017 on the initiative of local football team Frosinone Calcio, who won a lease for the stadium from the local council for 90 years, [3] in order to replace the old municipal stadium.
With a capacity of 16,227, [1] [4] [5] it is the largest stadium found in the province, and the third in Lazio. [6]
It is dedicated to the memory of Benito Stirpe , [7] entrepreneur and chairman of Frosinone Calcio in the 1960s, and father of Maurizio Stirpe , his successor at the helm of the club. [8] [9]
The total cost of the stadium was approximately €20 million, [10] of which approximately €15 million went to the 2015–2017 construction completion. [3]
The Benito Stirpe Stadium comprises 16,227 seats [1] split between five stands: the 'Main Stand', the 'North Stand', the 'East Stand', the 'South Stand' and the 'Away End' (which is the south-west corner).
