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.
