PASSAGE TWENTY-ONE

Introduction to the Stadium

1.The Biggest Stadiums in the World People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece.

2.In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best-known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design.

3.Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50, 000 people.

4.However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.

5.These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities slightly lower.

6.Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.

7.For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.

8.All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.

体育馆简介

1.自古希腊时代的世界上最大的体育场馆以来，人们就不断涌入体育场馆。

2.大约在公元80年，罗马人建造了罗马斗兽场，它仍然是世界上最著名的体育场，并继续影响着当代的设计。

3.罗马斗兽场高157英尺，有80个入口，可容纳5万人。

4.然而，与可容纳约25万人的马克西姆斯马戏团相比，这只是小巫见大巫。

5.如今，因为安全法规，更不用说现代体育迷对良好视野和舒适座位的渴望，往往会使体育场的容量更少。

6.就连足球迷也倾向于每人有一个座位;成千上万人站着观看比赛的日子一去不复返了。

7.对于世界上最大的体育场，我们使用了迄今为止世界地图集列表提供的数据，该列表根据其规定的永久容量以及官方体育场网站的最新信息对它们进行了排名。

8.所有这些体育场馆仍在运作，仍在开放，仍在举办世界体育界最大的赛事。
