Before Rugby Union went fully professional, most international stadiums held 50 - 60k people - now…read morethey have grown into 75k plus.
The great thing about this stadium is that it is a throwback to the old days - circa 30k spectators, and no matter where you are in the ground you always feels close to the action.
The best thing os the passion of the home supporters - especially when they win.
Last time I was there, they beat us Taffs and even though I was disappointed we lost, the atmosphere was fantastic - it was like they had won the World Cup, blue firecrackers going off, etc etc.
The place to see your team play away in the 6 nations (unless you are Itlaian of course) and a great weekend overall in Rome.
