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.
The stadium capacity is 85000 all
seated. |
