Long span structures are widely used in Stadiums, Gymnasiums, Sports halls, Swimming pools, Ice tracks, Skating rinks and Indoor sports. Stadium is a space for outdoor sports, concerts, events and consist of the field or stage that is surrounded by the tiered structure, designed for the spectators to stand or sit and view the event. Due to the function of the tiered structure, it needs to be protected (roofing to be provided) against the weather conditions and to create optimum circumstances for carrying out different activities. The stadium roof needs to provide a Barrierfree and column-free internal space, which is achieved by a lightweight and long span structure. The roof provides users with natural light and ventilation, and provides the best condition for grass growth. The various types and basic systems of long-span structures and their effectiveness are analysed to provide design advice, structural aspects integrated with architectural design, and the forces that affect the structure. Study of retractable roof structures that can host a greater variety of activities, improve the quality of their implementation, and the quality of visitors' experience. Research and identification of characteristics of retractable roof structures lead to the design of new moving systems that can with the application of the moving principle change the purpose of movable elements or assume the characteristics of other fundamental systems. The attempt to device new methods of construction leading to weight reduction and material development to increase the efficiency is continuously made. Hence several recommendations arrived based on materials, aesthetics, limitations and flexibility for different types of structures can be made use appropriately during the construction of sports facilities.

Due to the growing popularity and participation, many provisions for the spectators are provided inside the stadium such as exhibitions, galleries, etc. The paper aims to study and understand the orientation of the playfield for an outdoor stadium and seating area for an outdoor and indoor stadium.
