Arena Civica (Italian pronunciation: [aˈrɛːna ˈtʃiːvika, aˈreːna -]), officially Arena Gianni Brera, is a multi-purpose stadium in Milan, Italy, which was opened on 18 August 1807. One of the city's main examples of neoclassical architecture, today it mainly hosts football and rugby union games, concerts and cultural events. The stadium can hold 18,000–30,000 spectators.
The Arena is the home pitch for Milan's third football team, Brera, as well as being the host venue for an annual athletics meeting – the Notturna di Milano.[2] Until 2011, the Arena was the home ground of Amatori Rugby Milano, a rugby union club founded in 1927 that won 18 Italian Championships.
