Hi guys welcome to another episode of ultimate bucket list and on today's show
I'm here at the largest stadium in Italy
the San Siro officially known as the study of semi answer is home to two of
Italy's most famous and powerhouse teams AC Milan and Internazionale a otherwise
known as Inter Milan and they play in the biggest stadium in Italy over 80,000
spectators and these two teams absolutely despise one another but
what's it like to go to an actual game well I decided to find out for myself
I'm here for the AC Milan for your on tina game and as soon as i step out into
the stadium I'm shocked at the size of this place
it's effing massive there's plenty of places to pick up lots of Italian style
junk food which I gotta admit is a lot better than the stuff we get here in
England lots of places to buy souvenirs and this media guy gives me the nod of
approval but as soon as I tried enter the stadium I'm in a lot of trouble you
see I bought two tickets at the wrong end of the stadium next to the away fans
and unfortunately in Italy you can't sit with the away fans
especially seems that I'm wearing an AC Blanchard's so I was swiftly relocated
to a different part of the stadium and actually worked out pretty well for me
the seat was a lot better than this or perception where I'm supposed to sit
next to these four your antenna fans so it actually worked out quite well the
match atmosphere here in Italy is pretty amazing and these Italians certainly
know how to cheer on for that team listen to them whistle and voice their
displeasure to the opposite team
and one thing's for sure Italians are loud and they're very expressive so yeah
be prepared for that if you do get a chance to walk around the stadium you'll
realize just the sheer magnitude of this place everything when you look around is
absolutely massive no really it really is and this place has some of the best
sight lines I've sinned so yeah you can definitely get a decent ticket and a
decent view from everywhere that you sit as for the game itself a seaman played
incredibly poorly and they lost to bottom of leaf your antenna fans were
even leaving at 2 nil they were that disgusted at watching their team play
like crap boy there's a lot of angry Italians walking away from the stadium
today but overall if you do want to see a football game I do actually recommend
coming here to the San Siro to watch an AC Milan or Inter Milan game and you
won't be disappointed so the next morning I decide to go back to the San
Siro let's try and do a stadium tour however so at this point of the video
guys I'm actually supposed to give you the stadium tour of the San Siro but
it's fucking sure let me explain so on Sunday it was shut because obviously I
went to the game that you've just send me in and apparently today it was open
up until about 20 minutes ago so I missed the last tour of the day by about
20 minutes and this is due to the fact that they're using the ground for
training allegedly and I'm in d1 for more days off ok no problem
it's shot tomorrow as well are you fucking kidding me fusion in
here I actually mount off quite a lot in this video clip so I'll spare you the
theatrics in short Atalanta was playing Shakhtar Donetsk
the next day in a Champions League game so they actually closed the stadium
before training and practices and unfortunately that means that there was
no Stadium tours they didn't actually let anybody know unfortunately it wasn't
printed on the website nor were there any signs so that's highly inconvenient
what I can do however is go to court borrow some footage and show you what
it's actually like to do the stadium tour if I indeed was allowed to go on it
the stadium tour starts outside the gates number 8 which is to the left of
where you come in from the metro station and once you're inside the stadium you
get to walk around the pitch level a tour guide will give you an
informational talk about the two teams and about the stadium itself and this is
a great opportunity to take lots of photos have ask questions you can get to
walk around the pitch and into the interview area where players are
interviewed pre and post match you also get to visit both teams dressing rooms
and it's interesting because both teams have different looking dressing rooms so
in sirs dressing room is a lot more widespread and open compared to that of
AC Milan which is a lot more compact it feels almost a little claustrophobic and
on site actually prefer the inter dressing room but to be honest take lots
of pictures of both because they're actually kind of cool you get to walk
around the stands take a few seats take a few pictures and take lots of videos
your tour guide will then walk you into the media section now this is the
section whereby the press conferences happen and they do tell you that every
time a different team plays there whether it's AC or inter they have to
change literally everything from the stadium boards to the colors to even the
lighting you do get some cool photo and video
opportunities of you actually inside the media bit which is actually kind of cool
you then get one final talk from your tour guide a last chance to ask any
questions etc before they flock March you out into the club's gift shop now
don't get me wrong it's a very nice gift shop and rather predictably one half of
it is AC Milan and the other half is inter I also didn't buy anything from
this shop seems oh I was thoroughly hacked off but yeah I hope you don't
hate only too much for giving you a synopsis of a toy I didn't do but you
know I have to do the best of a bad situation
okay I'm so what do i do well firstly fucking book in advance I'm not kidding
seriously look on the website book you tickets in advance and actually arrive
at that time slot don't turn up because most likely they'll they'll find a way
to disappoint you AC Milan how it sends it to do that
constituted well allegedly it's about 18 euros and that's for a guided tour and
apparently there's options for you to guide yourself around but obviously I
didn't to get to do that if you didn't want to go to a game here tickets start
from about 35 euros obviously if they're playing a top team those particular
prices increase they've got that own metro stop now that's the best way to
get around Milan and it's definitely the best way to get here at the San Siro is
there anything else I need to know yes I've got booked in advance I'm not
kidding it's usually have a look on the website booked a ticket booked a time
slot and make sure you arrive because there at least then you know that you're
actually gonna go on the tour as supposed to try to turn up during its
opening hours like everyone else and trying to get in and if you didn't want
to see the San Siro highly recommend you do it quick because they're about to
blow it up to replace it with this the nuovo study of milano the new home of AC
and Inter Milan this stadium is a state-of-the-art
Stadium that they'll shortly be playing in so if you do want to go highly
recommend he do boy this steady / actually looks kind of cool I hope I get
to do a tour that one day and not get turned away I hope you enjoyed the
interior footage wallets like to come to a football match here in Italy I highly
recommend it and if you have enjoyed this episode please be sure to like

too hard and if if you've got any other suggestions for bucket lists sweet them

enough suggestions from bucket list I'll go ahead and do that so guys thank you
very much for watching we'll see you in the next episode so obviously half the
reason I came to Milan is to do this video for you guys and it effing short
so as you can tell I'm a little pissed really
they could have warned you they could have stuck a paper signs at least let
you know on the website but now no they didn't all this has my website was the
inter imposes of 5:30 and it's four o'clock now so that in theory there's no
reason why-y-y the short early is not as if there was any notice or anything like
that so yeah so
