Stadio Olympico A.S. Roma – S.S. Lazio Roma
Location of Olympic Stadium : the football ground is situated in the north of Rome Italy, 4km north of the Vatican City.
The Olympic Stadium of Rome is characterized by a continuous ring of tiers. They gently follow the course of the athletics track and discretely rise over 13 meters (43 feet) only. The pillars that support the roof structure articulate the oval framework of the tiers.
During the 1990 World Cup the stadium was greatly transformed. A roof was added and most of the stands were reconstructed, however, retaining the original idea to create a unique bowl in an elliptical shape.
