The Olympic Stadium (Stadio Olimpico) was built in 1937 and then re-built again in the 1953 and in the 1960 for the Olympics. The actual roof was added before the 1990 World Cup Finals. Both Lazio and Roma play their home matches here.
The stadium was designed by the architect Annibale Vitellozzi. It flaunts on a flat piece of land between the Tiber river and the Monte Mario hill. It looks like a big uncovered bowl that delicately sinks in the ground in order not to disturb its beautiful surroundings with its immense size. Various hotels and b&b’s can be found within easy reach of the football ground.

Find the cheapest hotel rooms in Rome beside Stadio Olimpico football ground, home of Football Club Societa Sportiva Lazio S.p.A. and Associazione Sportiva Roma SpA. Both teams play in the Serie A, the professional football league competition in Italy. It’s also the home of the Italy national rugby union team.
Location of Olympic Stadium — the football ground is situated in the north of Rome city centre hotels in 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.
Clubs — A.S. Roma ( Associazione Sportiva Roma SpA) , S.S. Lazio Roma ( Società Sportiva Lazio SpA ), the National Football Team of Italy, and Italy national rugby union team.
Capacity — 72,698 seats
Opened — 1937
