The Stadio Olimpico plays host to AS Roma and SS Lazio home soccer matches and is one of the most famous stadiums in all of Europe. The Stadio Olimpico’s tradition is deep, having been in use since 1936. It has been the host of Olympic Games, World Cups, and European soccer championships. It is also one of the largest stadiums in Europe, holding over 72,000 people. Almost as impressive as the stadium itself, are the rows of marble statues that lie right in front of the stadium, creating a very unique sporting experience.
If you happen to attend an AS Roma game, there are a few things you should know about the stadium. The cheapest seats (15 Euro) are in the north and south ends of the stadium, called the Curva Nord and Curva Sud. The Curva Sud is where the most rabid AS Roma fans sit. This section is characterized by fans waving giant flags all game, and sometimes settings off fireworks and flares. The sections along the sidelines are more expensive, with some costing over 100 Euro a ticket.
On a final note, the Stadio Olimpico will be on the world’s stage next year as it hosts the UEFA Champions League final.
