Chariot Races
An hippodrome.
Roman Emperors held gladiator battles and chariot races because they distracted the uneducated. They prevented revolts. They kept the poor entertained.
In order to participate in a chariot race one had to be a member of a team. Rome had four teams, the Reds, Whites, Blues and Greens. It's unclear as to exactly how many entries each team could have in a race, or if the various teams raced against each other in a single race or in a matchup.
