No, there isn't sand on the floor of the colosseum because there is no floor. What was once was the floor is gone. When you visit it you look down into what was under the floor originally. When the Romans used the colosseum they could flood the floor to have sea battles.

The Colosseum was an arena for the gladiatorial games . These were poplar among the Romans, but were not in keeping with he beliefs of Christians. Several bans of the gladiatorial games by Christian emperor were unsuccessful. However, as the Roman civilisation decayed and Christian beliefs became deeper among the population, they disappeared and the Colosseum fell out of use.
