MILAN (Reuters) - AS Roma have struck a deal with city officials over building a new stadium in the Italian capital, opening the way for a project meant to boost the Serie A soccer club's revenue. "We have always said that we were in favour of making the stadium happen but only within the law and for the good of our city. Such purpose-built, modern facilities could help Italy in any future bid to host either a World Cup or European Championship. The new stadium will also help Roma to raise revenue. Having their own stadium could also give Roma more control over those attending their games.
