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.
