The Colosseum, the hippodrome Circus Maximus (and 3 others), theatres, public baths, etc.
Gladiator fights are the most well-known entertainment of ancient Rome today. But, in ancient Rome, the city, the hippodrome Circus Maximus seated 250,000 people. There were also 3 smaller hippodromes. These had mostly Chariot Racing. Now, the Colosseum, which had the gladiator fights, seated 50,000 people. So, chariot racing must have been the most popular entertainment then.
