I watched the 2006 World Cup final in Rome at Circus Maximus. They put these giant screens up on the hill and those big sound towers as well. If you've not been to Circus Maximus, it's basically now just a huge field (about the size of 2 or 3 football fields).

This pic was taken when France missed a penalty kick, which solidified the win for Italy.
For anyone that cares, the party afterward can only be related by calling it the Red Mile times 10. Or more. It was freakin ridiculous. The entire city went berserk. The entire downtown, every street, every piazza, every person in the city was in a frenzy. It lasted until the next morning and even beyond.
