How did the Colisseum compare to modern stadiums?Watch the following video then answer the questions: History Of Roman Colisseum - Youtube--...

According to the video, there were some things that the
Colosseum had in common with our modern sports
stadiums.


One example of this is the system that they used
of tickets and seating.  The video says that people who came to the Colosseum had to
have tickets and that the tickets were not just for admission to the building.  Instead,
they tickets were for specific seats in specific sections of the stadium.  This is like
our current stadiums.


A second example is the fact that
there was actually some amount of indoor plumbing.  There were drinking fountains in the
Colloseum.  The video also claims that there were enough bathrooms to take care of the
audience when the Colosseum was full.
