A stadium is a large, open or partially enclosed venue designed for sports, concerts, or other events that require a large audience. It typically features seating for thousands of people, with a field or stage in the center. Stadiums are commonly used for events such as football games, concerts, or athletic competitions. They are designed to provide good visibility for spectators and often include facilities like restrooms, food stands, and VIP areas. Some stadiums also have roofs to protect spectators from the weather.
