There is only a very short harvest. In that short report, it called football matches place as arena, not it doesn’t called it as stadium. That’s very strange. Maybe the reason why it call it ‘arena’ is to express that belong to a very competitive match. In ancient arena, people used to try their all best to fight for a live. I think there is a difference between arena and stadium. People have to use their all energy, otherwise they will die.

rather than didn’t
not to call as stadium

I only got a general idea from this report. In that short report, they called the place for football matches an arena instead of a stadium. That was very strange.

Maybe the reason why they called it ‘an arena’ was to express that place was for very competitive matches. In ancient arenas, people used to fight for life.

I think there is a difference between an arena and a stadium. People have to use all their energy, otherwise they will die.
