    Hippodrome looks like an excellent Jousting Ground as well as chariot race track.

    My understanding was that the Romans really, really liked races though…

    The hippodrome became a lot less cool once they stopped the hippo fights

    The hippodrome is the Sega Saturn of Roman amphitheaters.

    Why are you comparing one specific amphitheatre with the concept of horse racing tracks in general?

    A fairer comparison would have been Colosseum vs. Circus Maximus. With that the competition would have been a lot closer.
