Arenas (theaters)

Arenas, often referred to as theaters, are large, typically open-air venues designed to host various events, such as concerts, sports competitions, and performances. The term originally comes from the Latin word for "sand," referring to the sandy floors of ancient Roman amphitheaters. Modern arenas feature seating for thousands of spectators and can accommodate diverse activities, with stages or playing fields at their centers. Examples include sports stadiums and concert halls, which are designed to enhance audience experience through acoustics, sightlines, and facilities for performers and attendees.
