Just seven metres between the first row of seats and the pitch. This is one of the main peculiarity of Juventus’ New Stadium. The Bianconeri who played Notts County this evening, felt this new sensation. Especially Gigi Buffon who had a privileged position.
After 45 minutes between the sticks, and without goal conceded (a good omen for the future), Juventus’ number one had the opportunity to point out this aspect when speaking to media: “Playing with all fans being so close is really exciting. I hope that this novelty can help us in doing even better. This evening has made all new signings understand what Juventus means, and for the ‘old’ players this concept has been refreshed. The ceremony has been great, perfectly arranged by our club, and we can be proud and grateful for this experience. In the future, there won’t be the chance for many teams to open another wonderful facility like ours.”
