I went to a town in California called Palm Springs over Spring Break. My family and I played tennis there, but we also saw a tennis tournament in a stadium. This reminded me of when we were learning about The Colosseum and how it was an amphitheater. The Tennis stadium looked and behaved very much the same because It was shaped like an ellipse, and the stands rose upwards away from a Tennis court in the center. Two players also dueled each other by playing Tennis, just like how gladiators might have fought each other in The Colosseum. There were vendors selling food in the stands too, which was given for free in the Roman times.
Here is a picture of a Stadium similar to the one I was at:
