Fans have been packing stadiums, arenas and ballparks for years in anticipation of being entertained by professional and college athletes. The origins of these venues have changed dramatically over the years. From playing football and baseball in open fields without seats to modern palaces costing billions of dollars to construct, the games have stayed the same, but where they are played has changed dramatically.

Over time additional stadiums sprang up in other parts of Greece and Italy and current stadiums have undergone a number of changes in design, functionality, and amenities.
