Detailed explanation-1: -Something that it shares in common with modern stadiums are tunnels underground to transport athletes or performers and it could be covered. The Roman Colosseum could hold anywhere between 50, 000 and 80, 000 people, which is colossal, especially for the time period.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Colosseum, built in 80 AD, still serves as the father of all modern stadiums. Tim Cahill, architect of the NFL’s newest venue, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, tells SI.com his design was modeled after a “Roman amphitheater.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The elliptical architecture of an amphitheatre is meant to facilitate visibility from every seat in the arena. The exterior facade of the Colosseum consists of four levels, with the bottom three levels composed of 80 arches each. Structurally speaking, the arches make possible the immense size of the structure.
