Do as the Romans Do...And Go See a ROMA Game!

One thing that I was told to do was go see a Roma soccer game while I was here in Rome. After playing soccer for my whole childhood life and seeing numerous games in California whether it be the Chivas or the Galaxy or a competitive college match, I was pumped to see what all the hype was about Roma soccer! Let's just say I cannot wait to go back again! The game was Roma verses Bologna and the tickets were a mere 6 euros each to go and enjoy this famed spectacle. Even though this game was not a big game, it was so much fun to be a part of and I can't even imagine what it is like when Roma is playing one of their rivals! The crowd is beyond energetic and the people view Roma as their team, their celebrities, people they love and follow. It was an awesome experience being able to see what the people of Rome are truly passionate about.

A little video clip of the game!

GO ROMA!

They had at least 50 of these statues outside of the stadium, which are supposed to be Olympic athletes.

Outside the stadium, such a beautiful sky!
