I visited the stadium on the day of the match between Fiorentina and Venezia on 25.8.2024. First of all, I should mention that a part of the stadium is under reconstruction, only like 2/3 of the stadium are functional. The stadium had small seats and little legroom. There is a large sector of home fans, but the atmosphere didn't particularly impress me. The stand I was sitting on didn't have a roof, which could be a problem in bad weather. The stadium was large without an athletic track. I liked the quality and size of the big screen. I have attached a photo of the screen, a view of the staggered section of the grandstand, the view from my seat and the toilet. I might come again after the reconstruction is finished

Fantastic atmosphere Fiorentina v Venezia. 0-0 Draw fans weren’t happy at Fiorentina owner at all. Great atmosphere

Cult stadium. Brilliant atmosphere, very old and worn out facilities. No card payment at the bar, so bring cash. The Viola fans are amazing and the view isn't too bad, even though you're far away from the pitch.

Tiny tiny seats with barely any legroom. It was a good experience for the price but nothing amazing

Renovation under way at one end, needs a whole stadium refurb personally but it didn't distract from the atmosphere or match. Staff were helpful even to a foreigner like me and seats were good and comfy. If I ever return to Florence then a visit to La viola is definitely on. 👍

Went to watch game vs Milan. I absolutely would not recommend getting cheap seats. The seats we had you basically couldn't even see 50% of the pitch. I also wouldn't recommend seats behind one of the goals as it's very far from the field. Luckily we were able to get closer to the pitch and stand with some locals. The stadium is generally small so another seat you get will be good. Fiorentina fans aren't loud at all, we were hearing Milan supporters for most of the game. Overall we enjoyed the experience

Stadium itself is pretty beat-up and outdated, which is surprising for a place that got renovated in the 90's. Beers are cheap. The atmosphere was pretty good, as Roma were in town. Security is good.
