    The Colosseum in Rome could hold 50,000 to 80,000 spectators and was originally called the Flavian Amphitheatre. It was made of limestone and concrete with underground tunnels used to house animals and slaves before battles. Up to 500,000 people and animals were killed in fights held in the Colosseum. Modern structures like Madison Square Garden in New York and TD Garden in Boston were modeled after the Colosseum, using concrete and tunnels, but do not hold deadly battles.
