Best Insider tip at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi?

Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi seating?
Despite the stadium being shared between Hellas Verona and Chievo, the setup of the stadium remains the same no matter who is playing there. The home fans always take their seats in the South Stand where a ticket will cost you around €25 a ticket. The opposite can be said of the North stand which has for years been the domain of the away fans. The more expensive tickets are found on either side of the pitch. There is a running track around the pitch that separates the stands and the playing surface which does act as a barrier to the atmosphere.
Best Food and Drink at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi?
As you can guess, the offerings on display at the Stadio Marcantonio are more of the snack variety than anything more substantial – think slices of pizza and sandwiches – no classic meat pies in sight! There is alcohol on offer with a large can of beer setting you back around €4 – which isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things.
What to expect from the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi crowd?
Despite Hellas Verona taking up only half of the enormous stadium, and Chievo barely managing to fill a quarter of the stadium – there is still a cracking atmosphere at the games. The roof is low, and while that can give a slightly claustrophobic feel (even for such a large stadium), it makes the noise stay in the stadium. As you can imagine, games against the bigger Serie A teams create a wonderful atmosphere.

Il Punto Rosso is another quaint small trattoria style restaurant where the food is wonderful and even more appealing when you look at the low prices!

Safety at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi?
Verona, quite rightly has long been identified with being Shakespeare's city – the home of Romeo and Juliet – but there are so many more facets to the 'Gateway to Italy'. Nevertheless, you should take the time to see where history and fiction have intermingled and go and see the Romeo and Juliet House! If historical importance is of value to you then you should absolutely make a visit to the old Roman Amphitheatre – just think of the drama that happened here – let alone at the football ground! Otherwise, spend the day at Piazza Bra and enjoy the bars and cafes!
