Page "Amphitheatre" Paragraph 7
from
Wikipedia
A contemporary amphitheatre, the sense in which the word has come to be used now, is a curved, acoustically vibrant performance space, particularly one located outdoors.
Contemporary amphitheatres often include standing structures, called bandshells, sometimes curved or bowl-shaped, both behind the stage and behind the audience, creating an area which echoes or amplifies sound, making the amphitheatre ideal for musical or theatrical performances.
The term " amphitheatre " is also used ( incorrectly ) for some indoor venues such as the Gibson Amphitheatre.
The largest amphitheatre in the world is Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, with a seating capacity of 160, 000.
