Gerry Cardinale, the owner of AC Milan and founder of RedBird, is spearheading efforts to modernize Italian soccer by revolutionizing the match day experience. His vision includes constructing a new stadium on the outskirts of Milan, a departure from Italy's traditional approach to stadium ownership.
