Serie A is one of the five major football leagues, but there are not many stadiums owned by the club itself. Having missed the wave of new stadium developments in the 1990s and early 2000s, Italy's stadiums are now somewhat dilapidated.

In 2017, Atlanta purchased the Italian Athletic Stadium from Bergamo and is now planning to rebuild the stadium on a large scale. The plan includes the construction of two new grandstand roofs and the renovation of other grandstands to reach a capacity of 24,000 seats. They hope to complete it in 2020.

However, as the plan was resisted by the local aviation authorities and progress was slow, they ran out of anger and moved to Stadio Is Arenas, a temporary stadium in nearby Quartu, and vowed not to return to Cagliari. However, a few months later, their plan still failed the government's project review, and they eventually moved back to Santa Elia and made some minor renovations to the stadium.
