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. |
