An
Italian football match is an experience not to be missed
for the quality of the play and the fun atmosphere.
Rome has two teams, AS Roma and SS Lazio, and they take
it in turns to play at the Stadio Olimpico on a Sunday
afternoon at 3pm (unless they are playing the following
week in either the Champions League or Uefa Cup in which
case their league matches may be brought forward a day
to the Saturday ) in the Campionato Italiano (Italian
championship league or Serie A as it is more commonly
known seats can be scarce, so get tickets in advance
from the stadium (22 euros - 78 euros)
The cheapest tickets
are in i distinti then Le Curve stand. The middle range
and the most expensive are in Le Gradinate and La Tribuna
respectively. Monte Mario Stand is where all the VIPs
, Press and Rich / Famous people go. The Olympic Stadium
was built in the 1930s during the fascist Mussolini
era and is a relic to a period that most Italians would
rather forget - nevertheless it remains one of the most
intimidating stadiums in Italy.
Did you Know? The
stadium capacity is 85000 all seated.
