An Italian football match is an experience not to
be missed for the quality of the play and the fun
atmosphere and Park Hotel dei Massimi is very near
to Olympic Stadium. 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.
