AS Roma president James Pallotta says new stadium plans will be launched this year.

Pallotta has revealed big plans for their new home.

"We're still on the same timetable," Pallotta is quoted by Foxnews.com.

"Hopefully [we'll start work] this fall. It should go through by then for putting shovels in the ground.

"It's actually going pretty well. Everyone wants it - the mayor, the city council - it's just an incredibly complex project.

"It's not complex because of the regulatory side of it. It's just a complex project.

"It's not a football stadium that's only for football. There's an office park, there's a training facility, there's 300,000 square feet of live entertainment space.

"There's going to be festivals and concerts and American college football games. So it's a very, very complicated facility.

"We already had a number of college teams ask us a year ago about building a stadium. And I would like to get the NFL sometime, too."
