MILAN (Reuters) -Milan's city council approved on Tuesday the sale of the San Siro stadium and surrounding land to local soccer clubs Inter and AC Milan for 197 million euros ($230 million), paving the way for its demolition and the construction of a new venue.

Originally built in 1926, the San Siro, with its striking spiral staircases wrapped around the outside of the stadium, was renovated for the 1990 World Cup but lacks the facilities offered by other top European soccer venues.
