Theme: Sports Watching
This stadium was used for the Olympic Games in 1960 (The XXVII Olympiad, with 83 countries from around the world participating) - thus its name. In the grounds (yes, literally in the ground) around the stadium there are mosaics depicting different events in the Olympics (discus, hurdling, running, etc.), there are also statues in similar stances as well in area just to the right of the stadium. Since then the stadium has been used for quiet a few big sports events. It has also been used for the 1987 World Athletics Championship and the 1990 World Cup (football). Today however the stadium is home to two football teams: Roma (founded in 1927) and Lazio (founded in 1900). I have heard that getting tickets for games here can be expensive, and sometimes the crowd is not so friendly (hooliganism), but soccer is a huge part of Italian culture and you should try to see a game when you are here (I myself did not get to see a game here, wrong time)
