Many stadiums also include facilities for athletes, such as locker rooms and training areas, as well as amenities for fans, like concession stands and restrooms. These stadiums can vary in size and design, with some, like the Colosseum in Rome, being historic landmarks, while others are modern structures equipped with advanced technology. They often host major events, including the Olympic Games and World Cup matches, drawing large crowds and generating significant economic activity in their respective cities.
