The Importance Of Football In The World

Thanks to the various sources and the multiple mediums through which they are presented we have learnt much about this aspect of Roman entertainment. Frescoes, mosaics, writings, graffiti, buildings, artefacts (gladiator's helmet, weapons, etc), inscriptions, reliefs and even bodies all reveal details of the many different facets and experiences of this ancient entertainment. We now know who went, what and who the entertainment was, and even the stories of the ancient Pompeians and reconstruct a variety of experiences. This source is a archaeological treasure as unlike others it did not deteriorate from non-use or knocked down, it was frozen on a typical roman day and has thus remained. It is also significant as we can compare this evidence to similar items of evidence from all over Rome and deepen our understanding of the life of the ancient Romans.

The mid August heat is blazing as crews break down the temporary stage from last night's concert. The stage was set in what looks to be almost a half mile long and football field wide dry river bed. I can see the appeal of placing a stage here with the Aventine and Palatine Hills on each side to accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators who would be able to see the stage. Once the stage is broken down this prime real estate in the middle of Rome, Italy will serve as a large park, but it was not always this way, the same reasons this park is used for concerts today is why the Circus Maximus was constructed here in the Valley of Murcia, Rome.

But, the answer to the main question is not as simple as it may seem, especially to the uninformed sports fan. Take a look at this topic from an economic point of view. Is there an actual economic gain from having a new sports stadium? Professional sports teams are multimillion dollar organizations themselves. Why

There, we were told that we were to go down to the floor level of the stadium to warm up our routine in two hours. In the meantime, we got ready and toured the massive stadium. It was quite a sight to see; thousands of seats surrounded the field below. Rooms and stores surrounded the array of seats and large screens and speakers hung from the ceiling of the stadium showing a live feed of the teams already performing. On the ground below, a large black curtain divided the field horizontally into two sides: one side for practicing and the other for performing. On either side lay large sheets of light blue mats for stunting and tumbling.

Sports play an integral part in todays society in not only keeping people healthy and in shape but also make for fun activity and competition. While everyone tends to focus on exercise and enjoyment, they forget the importance of having a quality facility in order to practice their specific sport or hobby. Sport facilities themselves have revolutionized the way sports are being played nowadays, especially on the professional level. Advancements are being made on a daily basis to make the experience great for both athletic participants and the on looking spectators. Specifically though, today we will focus on the Staples Center located in Los Angeles, CA and talk about its overall history while also outlining the tremendous effect it has had

There are many intangible benefits to constructing a new stadium or arena for a city. First and foremost, it creates a sense of identity within the

Sports teams are a symbol of a cities pride. Take for example the Chicago Cubs. They create a sense of loyalty toward that city. However, none of that would happen without a stadium. Stadiums and teams can play a very important role in a cities economy, or they could also be irrelevant. To decide whether or not they are useful or not you must first understand each side of the argument. So first, let’s examine the pros of having a stadium within your city. Then, we will discuss the harms of having one. And finally, decide which side is more beneficial for the economy.

and relocation of the existing bleachers to the visitor’s side of the field, site improvements,

The setup inside the arena was simple. A large white platform was built, with an orchestra pit behind it and a large wooden crucifix hanging overhead. White flowers ringed the edges of the platform. The main floor area was set up like a church nave, with two large, parallel sections of seats, and an aisle wide enough between them to drive a popemobile through.

A stadium has a roof for shelter, gates for protection, and land for planting food.

To start us off we will talk about the genuine beauty of the building.Considering the monumental size of the round building, there isn't a bad seat anywhere whether you are watching hockey or a concert you get a perfectly clear view of what is happening either on the ice or on the stage from any seat. The staff there does an amazing job keeping the place clean before events so it is spotless when you find your seat. In the arena, there is some amazing decor outside with banners and advertisements showing the next big event. Similarly, there is just as eye-catching decor on the inside as well with things like banners and ornaments supporting the Wild. Usually, there is also very colorful trees and flowers on the outside as well adding to the magnificent view.

During the study abroad trip to Italy, I had the opportunity of visiting another city, Verona. One of the first stops that were made as a class was the Arena. Not only is the Arena the best preserved Roman monument in Verona, but it was built in the first century AD. The reason behind this cultural monument being a favorite was due to the way it was not broken down and once I stepped foot into the center of the arena, I felt as if I had become apart of what took place years ago within it. Even though the arena is well preserved, a few changes had been made to the center in order for it to keep up with modern day culture.

Looking at a picture of the Colosseum I relate to a stadium, for instance it is a large oval shape monument made out of stones and concrete. “the amphitheater was the inspiration for numerous similar but smaller buildings, numbering more than 180 through Roman Empite.”(history today).Different floor levels, which once represented power and wealth to the Roman Empire. However the Colosseum

Modern stadiums are pretty similar in design to Roman ones, but modern stadiums hold much more people. Modern stadiums also have different events than Roman stadiums. This image shows one of the world cup stadiums.

The Olympic Games is one of the biggest and most unrivaled sporting events in the entire world. At first it may seem like a huge plus or advantage for a city or nation to host this event. However on the contrary there are a lot of negative aspects that occur when a nation hosts this event. While the event is taking place, from the outside it looks like a state of the art, prestigious event that it is. Some of the problems that are caused by hosting Olympic games deal with, stadium development, local resident life, security issues, and many others that will be discussed. One of the big problems when dealing with a mega event such as the Olympic Games is the stadiums, which get built, and how they get abandoned or not used after the games are finished. This is one of the major problems surrounding the Athens 2004 games. Many of the stadiums and infrastructure are left untouched and abandoned to this day.
