The Flavian Amphitheatre is clearly the superior console

It’s also perfect for no-rules Nascar: https://what-if.xkcd.com/116/

TFW PugJesus stops providing context with memes

P.S. Naval battles were for real!

The hippodrome became a lot less cool once they stopped the hippo fights

So NASCAR is upholding Roman racing traditions?

And they still do concerts on both. Though more at Circo Massimo.

Also in Hippodrome…

The hippodrome is the Sega Saturn of Roman amphitheaters.

Games for the Hippodrome:

• Chariot Race
• Installation of an anti-Emperor
• Massacres of civilians!

• Man vs Man
• Man vs Self
• Man vs Nature
• Man vs Society: Sea of Lies (All water levels!)

Hippodrome looks like an excellent Jousting Ground as well as chariot race track.

My understanding was that the Romans really, really liked races though….

Why are you comparing one specific amphitheatre with the concept of horse racing tracks in general?

A fairer comparison would have been Colosseum vs. Circus Maximus. With that the competition would have been a lot closer.
