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.
