In Roman times, one of the most important activities in the hippodromes were chariot races. There was a number of chariot teams, called by certain names, such as blues, greens, etc. These teams also represented different political opinion in Roman societies and eventually became very influential. Google "Nika Riots" for more information how the chariot teams of the Constantinople hippodrome started a big riot which was ended by a bloody massacre.
Who built the Hippodrome in Constantinople currently Istanbul Turkey?
The first Hippodrome in today's Istanbul was built by the Roman emperor Septimius Severus in the beginning of the 3rd century as one of series of reconstructions in ancient Byzantium. In fact, he was the one who had punished Byzantium and destroyed almost the entire city for supporting his enemy, clearly the loosing side. The hippodrome was enlarged and renovated by Constantine the Great when the city was made the capital of the eastern Roman Empire as Constantinople in the 4th century. Some claims that the capacity of the hippodrome reached 100,000 seats, but recent findings show that this figure appears to be exaggerated.
