AEG Facilities Begins Management Of AS Roma's New Stadio della Roma

Under the terms of the agreement, the newly launched AEG Facilities Global Solutions will provide diverse pre-opening services during final design and construction periods with AEG Facilities continuing to provide full management and support services including event programming, purchasing through AEG's global purchasing network, vendor venue services, sustainability consulting through AEG1Earth and event day operations for the venue including event staff training through AEG's proprietary Encore program following the stadium's opening. 

The planned 52,500-seat facility is expected to start construction in early 2017 and is anticipated to open for the 2019 – 2020 Italian Serie A season.

"AEG Facilities is a worldwide leader in the global sports market and we are proud to be partnered with them," commented AS Roma President Jim Pallotta.  "We look forward to working closely with their team of industry experts and have total confidence in AEG's ability to lead day-to-day stadium operations and a mix of year-round entertainment events that we plan to hold at the Stadio della Roma."

"AEG Facilities Global Solutions is thrilled at the opportunity to work closely with Jim Pallotta and his talented team on what will be an iconic venue," said Bob Newman, President, AEG Facilities.  "This stadium is a critical piece in AS Roma's storied history and will transform both the sports landscape and fan experience in Italy. It will be a true multi-use stadium and will host not only the world's best soccer matches, but also concerts, festivals and other events. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting project."

The development project will be anchored by AS Roma's new state-of-the-art 52,500-seat stadium (expandable to 60,000), and will also feature a new team training facility, and several entertainment and F&B zones being developed by AS Roma. The interactive areas of the complex will include a live entertainment amphitheater, bars and restaurants, fan-friendly piazzas for gatherings, branded experiences, a museum dedicated to the storied history of AS Roma, and a team merchandise store.

As an integral partner on the project, AEG plans to dedicate a considerable amount of resources to the local community and to serve as a strong supporter of local job creation and economic growth for the city of Rome and to the broader Italian economy. The total master-site project budget is projected to be in excess of €2 billion with over €400 million in privately funded public infrastructure works.
