Sports venue
A sports venue is a building, structure, or place in which a sporting competition is held.
A stadium (plural: stadiums or stadia)[1] or arena is a place or venue for sports or other events and consists of a field or stage either partly or completely surrounded by a tiered structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event.[2]
There are various types of sporting venues, depending on the sport played. For example, there's the racetrack for car racing, the hippodrome for horse racing, the velodrome [3] for cycling, and the swimming pool for swimming. Some sporting venues can accommodate over one hundred thousand spectators, such as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the United States, which has a capacity of 257,325 people.
