There’s a good chance you’ll be watching the 08-09 Champions League final live on TV, or watching it live online. But what if you could be sitting in the Stadio Olimpico, in Rome, watching the game live alongside 72,000 football fans

It’s a once in a lifetime experience, a dream come true for the common football fan.

And thanks to our (somewhat crazy) friends at Footbo, you’ve got an excellent chance at making this dream come true.
