The Colosseum is/was a large circular arena.
The Roman arenas were the amphitheatres. They were not necessarily circular. They were often oval. They hosted gladiatorial combats, venationes (animal slaying), chariot contests and executions. They differed from theatres which were semicircular, circuses which were very long (they hosted horse races with and without chariots) and the stadia used for athletics.Around 230 amphitheatres have been found

What kinds of sports did the Romans have?
They didn't have the same sports we have today. They used the Colosseum for Mock sea battles, Gladiator battles, and chariot racing. They also loved blood sport with animals organs. They liked to watch men fight tigers and lions. And i can say usually they got entertainment out of watching the people lose. It was not very often the people won. The chariot races a lot of children were present at.

Difference in the sports they play now to the middle ages?
Medieval sports consisted of jousting, sword fighting, etc. Modern day sports is more team oriented such as, football, basketball, etc. ----- Sports of the Middle Ages included all sorts of things we would recognize today, including various forms of billiards, bowling, golf, football, and a number of others. The biggest difference was that the rules were not written down, and sometimes were virtually nonexistent. One of the forms of football, for example, was sometimes played with no limit to the number of players on either side. It was called mob football, and was often played in the middle of a town, with no apologies to passers by, who might get drafted into the home team, if they were local. Jousting was done in the Middle Ages, and was more important than the exhibitions we see occasionally today. But that sort of thing was only played by knights, and common people were left out. It was something for the historians to talk about, but quite probably most competitions involved the common folk.
