3 more Serie B stadiums you should definitely see

Last month I recommended stadiums, for those who, like me, are insatiable consumers of every possible match that involves 22 people competing in a playing rectangle. After some time, given the multitude of requests and further advice that has come in, I have decided to repeat this appointment that could become a constant, for those who have decided to visit one of those stadiums seen in the article, and who have taken the time to check if my guide is for you. For those who may have missed it, this year in fact, thanks to the big cities that have made it to the cadet championship - there are 6 regional capitals in the tournament, a very rare statistic not seen in quite some time - my attention has completely turned to Serie B, monopolising my Saturday afternoon. Contrary to what is often thought, the Serie B is an inexhaustible source of talent where it is always possible to find modern football that clashes with the absolute boredom that has been hovering over the Italian championships for years. A way to get to know the teams that are about to occupy a box in the next Serie A, an in-depth look at the game, the tactics and the pressure that every Lega B club is subjected to.

As usual then, as I plan my next away games, we put down on paper three more stadiums you should visit at all costs during this season. Tips to be taken with a pinch of salt, but which will do the trick in case you can't resist the allure of the damp and often slightly bumpy bleachers, fans and smoke bombs.

1. Stadium Luigi Ferraris | Genoa

The Ferraris certainly ranks among the best stadiums in Italy. Built way back in 1910, its shape, structure and architecture make it one of the best in the league. Seeing a match at the Ferraris, be it for Samp or Genoa, is in fact a unique experience thanks also to the warm support of the Genoese. From my last visit a few weeks ago, I learnt in fact how special the stands are, one of those that makes you realise the attachment, passion and love that every fan has for his team.

2. Stadium San Nicola | Bari

If we talk about architecture and iconic stadiums instead, it is impossible not to mention the stadium built on 28 April 1990 and dedicated to the city's patron saint following a popular referendum held in conjunction with the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno. With its petals, the San Nicola di Bari was one of the frames of the World Cup played in the Italian boot in the 1990s. The stadium was designed by Renzo Piano, a name that certainly needs no introduction, and this alone is enough to make you realise its beauty if you have never had the chance to visit it. Recently the club has also modernised it, adding, as in Naples, new red and white seats that give the huge structure a completely different and very striking look.

3. Stadium Alberto Braglia | Modena

Leaving aside the club's stormy past, the Modena stadium is absolutely one of those places to visit to liven up your weekends. From the outside, at first glance, you will be slightly disappointed, you will think you have entered the usual, classic Italian stadium, ruined and left to itself. Once inside, however, you realise how much you should never judge a book by its cover. The Braglia in fact inside is a modern stadium, with curves and grandstands sloping down to the pitch, without any athletics track, that will make you enjoy the game to the fullest. Nothing to add on what to do, if you are a lover of good food, Emilia is absolutely your region, to pair a football match with a great and never trivial culinary tour around the city.
