Historically, an amphitheater was a large oval or round, usually roofless building with seats rising in ascending rows from a central space called the arena which was covered with sand and was where entertainments such as mock sea battles and gladiatorial fights were staged. Amphitheaters were huge centers for entertainment in the Roman Empire and played a major role in Roman architecture. The most famous of these types of buildings is the Flavian Amphitheater or more commonly the Colosseum which was built in AD 80 by the Emperors Vespasian and Titus. Modern sports facilities are modeled to a large extent after the ancient Roman amphitheaters. Today, an amphitheater is either an arena for sports events or an open-air semicircular structure with seating connected to a stage for concerts.
