"I am an American with a Napoli heart, my experience watching the NAPOLI - ATALANTA in San Paolo Stadium,"Jason
By Jason Protopappas (ForzaSud)Contributing Writer
Hello my friends!!! As promised, this is my report about my experience watching live the Italian Serie A Week match Napoli 0 - 0 Atalanta on April 11, 2009. Allthe money from the Serie A that weekend went to the earthquake relief. What anexperience it was to be at a game!
Here I am with my wife Anna riding the train to go to the San Paolo Stadium.. we are ready to cheer for NAPOLI!!!!
"Napoli, Napoli, Napoli, FORZA NAPOLI, Napoli, Napoli... ohhhhhh..."

We didn't know where to buy tickets, so we bought tickets from these shady scalpers outside the stadium. Well the guardschecked the tickets and were like "no" so we said come on we just bought them from those guys right there we are tourists please let us in...so they did. Butman we sat in the Curva A, and if any of you know what that is well... it's where the ULTRAS sit!!!
WOW what an experience. Let me tell you, loud cheers, whistling, smoking pot openly, throwing bottles on the field when the game was over, no toilets for women just a hole in the ground, loud chants and songs, but most of all the stadium was at least 80 percent filled. I think because of the devastating earthquake the Italians came out to support their team even though Napoli is not playing well.
Guys, this is the entrance of THE CURVA SUD... for the Ultras of Napoli where I sit!!!!!!

Now here guys is where the ULTRAS from Napoli sit in the Curva Superiore AND AMAZING THAT I AM HERE TOO!!!!
I was cheering on your behalf too like you asked me guys.
Here is a view before the match.. the starting eleven formation from Napoli and Atalanta. A minute of silence for the victims of the Abruzzo earthquake.

Guys, here is a banner that the ultras hung that said sompthing about the Abruzzo earthquake.
