Milan’s commercial director Jaap Kalma also took the chance to speak about stadium plans at the event. These were his comments: “It’s a big moment in Milan’s history, ups and downs, and this is the world of football. The value and the return on Milan’s investments this year have improved compared to previous years. The stadium is central to our projects. A change in ownership is secondary, we’re working to develop the relationships with our sponsors, there’s no need to focus on that. Together with Infront we have experimented with various initiatives inside and outside the stadium. We want to offer entertainment and value to our public. We also aim to prepare a rich schedule of events to promote Casa Milan during the Expo 2015.”
