Going to a stadium to see a match or a race is a thrilling experience since these magnificent structures provide an atmosphere where you can truly immerse yourself in the competition. In today’s world, stadiums play an important role in social gatherings and entertainment areas.

They are also a key factor affecting the athletes' performance. To answer the question of "Why are stadiums important?", we need to learn about stadium history first.

The first stadium was built around a crude athletics track in the form of an elongated "U" in the 8th century BC. The starting and finish lines were at opposite ends of the track, which was only 630 feet long (192 meters) and 105 feet (32 meters) wide.

As sports became more widespread, stadiums and hippodromes were established in many Greek towns. They had similar dimensions and features. Soon after, these sports facilities began to play important roles within the cities. People had a place to gather and enjoy a thrilling experience.

Over time, new stadiums, compared to the old stadiums, became more and more sophisticated. Thanks to the new construction techniques, stadium capacity increased dramatically and new architectural designs emerged. Today, there are even open stadiums with air conditioning systems.

Stadiums have been places where people gather, share a laugh, and enjoy exciting competitions for a long time. Even though the emotions and the experiences mostly stayed the same, the designs and the capacity of the stadiums have changed significantly.
