All depends on who the amphitheatre was built for. Some were built for rich noble men who could afford private entertainment. For the "commoners" there was usually one or two in a large town .

In Pompeii the amphitheatre could hold 20,000 which was the population of Pompeii and a few from the nearby town of Nuceria.
