ROME, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- A plan to install a modern floor in Rome's Colosseum and use the ancient stadium for events was proposed by Italy's culture minister.
The plan would require a surface across the playing field of the Colosseum, a 50,000- 80,000-seat stadium built in 70-80 A.D., last used for events in early medieval times and still the model for stadium construction.
