In Rome there are two places for entertainment. One is the Colosseum. The Colosseum is where the gladiators fight. The second place is Circus Maximus. The Circus Maximus race track is 1,970 feet long and 650 feet wide. This is the biggest race track in Rome. The track fits 200,000 people ad the entry is free. Before the races start they begin the day with a parade. After the parade the races start. The races are usually ten minutes long. The biggest race events have twenty four races a day. The tight turns in the race track make it hard for the chariot drivers to control their chariot. The chariots will sometimes crash and pile up. The people who go to the races usually wear something that has to do with the team you are rooting for. If you go to Circus Maximus then you should wear something with the team you are rooting for on it. The race track is used for horse racing but is also used for hunts or mock battles. Circus Maximus is like a modern day race excpt without chariots and all the crashing.
