Stadio Danilo Martelli is the main stadium in Mantua , Italy . It is named Danilo Martelli , a Mantuan footballer from the 1940s , who died in the Superga air disaster of 1949 . It is currently used mostly for football matches and , on occasion , for concerts . It is the home of A.C. Mantova . The stadium holds 17,844 but has recently been given temporary extra seats on a metallic scaffolding for the attendance needs of Serie B . The main concrete cover was capsized by a tornado in 1977 , and since then the safety of the structures has been periodically put into minor question . There have been plans to demolish it and rebuild it in a less central area of the city , while the current site was to be destined to commercial use . However , this has been recently put indefinitely off in time , due to unsolved commercial and political controversies
