Rome's Famous Arena
\"New York has Yankee Stadium. Chicago has Wrigley Field. But no stadium is more famous than Rome's Colosseum, which is almost 1,800 years older than most other stadiums. And it's hardly known for fun football or baseball games. In fact, the Colosseum is known for brutality and bloodshed. Gladiators fighting to the death. Prisoners of war being devoured by lions. The so-called 'games' of ancient Rome offend the very spirit of the ancient Greek Olympics, which were based on peace, cooperation and friendship.\" (Yak's Corner) Learn more about the history of the Colosseum.
