STADIUM

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 750 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STADIUM , the Latin form of this
Greek
  name for a
standard
  of length, a
stade
  loo bpryveat (about 6 ft., or 1
fathom
 ) = 6 a?dOpa (loo Gr. about 'or Eng. ft.), equivalent to about 6o6 Eng. ft.; as being about one-eighth of the
Roman
  mile, it is often translated by "
furlong
 ." The course for the foot-race at
Olympia
  (q.v.) was exactly a
stade
  in length, and hence the name was given to the
Greek
  foot-race and to the
amphitheatre
  in which the races took
place
  (see
GAMES
 , CLASSICAL).
