The Colosseum was a sports arena where the Romans would go to see Gladiators pitted against one another in mortal combat, some of these fights would take on the guises of re-enactments of famous Roman victories. The Colosseum was also used as a venue for public executions.

They lined up either people or animals in lines, then they made them battle, which meant kill another until the last man or thing standing.There was also chariot racing, this was a dangerous sport, often people would die on the horses. It would either be a singular race which means that it would be one man doing tricks with his chariot or there would be races where 4/5 men would take part. There would be men trying too help out the race by whipping the horses and also pouring water onto the track to make it harder! This was a typical Roman ENTERTAINMENT!

The Colosseum is only used for visits by tourist. It is not allowed to hold concerts in the Colosseum because it is not safe enough. However, concerts outside it which use it as a backdrops are sometimes held.
