Overview
- Como’s request to widen the Stadio Sinigaglia pitch was inspected and cleared by Lega Serie A, with the change confirmed by Fabregas after the Bologna match and in place for the Jan. 15 Milan game.
- The field has moved from 105x65 to 105x66 metres, adding one metre of width within league regulations.
- Fabregas explained the tweak is designed to better handle opponents’ pressing and to exploit his wingers’ contributions.
- Italian rules allow up to 105x68, and Sinigaglia was among three Serie A grounds under the standard width; Fabregas has signalled he will seek further widening next season.
- The adjustment is framed as a home-edge factor for a Como side unbeaten at the Sinigaglia, while Allegri downplayed its impact, saying more space does not change anything.
