It is not analogous to modern use of "football fields" for distance. The unit of measure is the original word. The word later came to refer to a race track which was one stadium long. It then came to refer to the circular track with spectators where a stadium race was held, and then from that came to be any sporting arena. <a href="/wiki/User:Iglew" title="User:Iglew">Iglew</a> (<a

"stadia" in print, more often "stadiums", and I've never heard anyone say "stadia" out loud. It's always "stadiums". But I'm only listening to sports shows, and what do they know about this subject? So I did a quick search on Google for the words "stadiums" and "stadia", and it's about a 3.5 to 1 ratio. Oh, and by the way, wiktionary gives "stadiums" as the preferred.

It only shows that each plural is used for at least one of the definitions listed. "Stadia" is the preferred plural for the unit of distance (and probably for the bug one, too, but I'm not familiar with that usage), and that's why it's listed above. It does not follow that it is an accepted plural for the sports arena definition. In fact, using "stadia" in that context is a modern affectation. <a href="/wiki/User:Iglew" title="User:Iglew">Iglew</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Iglew" title="User talk:Iglew">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Stadium#c-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z-Stadium_vs._Stadia" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:36, 27 January 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z-Stadium_vs._Stadia"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z","author":"Iglew","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z-Stadium_vs._Stadia","replies":["c-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-22T10:24:00.000Z-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z-Stadium_vs._Stadia"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-22T10:24:00.000Z-Iglew-2010-01-27T06:36:00.000Z"></span>Using "stadia" sounds rather contrived to me and appears to be at odds with how we actually name articles and lists, so I've changed the usage to "stadiums". Dictionary.com does not list "stadia" first, and trying to claim that "stadium" is still a Latin word will obviously not hold up to scrutiny. If anyone wants to insist on this, I would really like to see some support for the notion.

Of course the Latin plural wouldn't be a corruption of the Latin word. It's "stadia". Besides, common usage shouldn't dictate what is written in an encyclopaedia; it's supposed to be the other way around. An encyclopaedia is meant to tell people what's right, not to repeat the mistake that they've been making and tell them it's ok because other people do it too. The word is "stadia", not "stadiums".

The paragraph stated as follows </p><p>The Greek <a href="/wiki/Hippodrome" title="Hippodrome">hippodrome</a> was the basic model for both the Roman stadium and the Roman <a href="/wiki/Circus_(building)" class="mw-redirect" title="Circus (building)">circus</a>. A hippodrome and a stadium may be of similar size, while the largest circus structures can have seating capacities up to ten times greater. In practice, however, the association of one of these three words with a given structure may be more the result of some naming convention than a reflection of any characteristic of its physical size or structure. Indeed, from one epoch to another the same structure many be known by different names. For example, the <a href="/wiki/Stadium_of_Domitian" title="Stadium of Domitian">Stadium of Domitian</a> was also known as the Circus Agonalis. In another example a structure at Aphrodisias can be found referred to as a <a href="/wiki/Aphrodisias#Stadium" title="Aphrodisias">stadium</a>, or a <a href="/wiki/Hippodrome" title="Hippodrome">hippodrome</a>, while it has the size and structure of a small circus. </p><p>Objections. The Greeks had no hippodromes prior to being conquered by the Romans, and even then had fewer than the Romans. The hippodrome (a Greek word) originated in the Roman circus. Latin circus and Greek hippodrome are the same structures. The Romans had three types of stadium-like structures: circus (for horse races), amphitheatre (for gladiatorial combat), theatre (for drama and pantomime). No stadia. On the other hand, Greeks had theatres and stadia. No hippodromes or amphitheatres. </p><p>When the Romans conquered the East, they spread their horse races to the Greek areas, and their gladiatorial combats. Stadia were refurbished for horse races and theatres refurbished for gladiatorial combats. </p><p>All in all, we cannot have a Wikipedia page claiming that "The Greek hippodrome was the basic model for the Roman stadium and the Roman circus." Not only did the Romans have no stadia as such; it is the Roman circus that influenced and originated those few Greek and Byzantine structures that can be considered true hippodromes. You will find that ALL Greek/Byzantine hippodromes are from after the Roman conquest. Chariot racing in ancient Greece was a minor sport compared to human races, discus, javelin, boxing and wrestling. </p><p>I won't go on and on. The claim that the Greek hippodrome is prior to the Roman circus is false and opposite to the truth. A reference must be provided for such an astounding claim. <a href="/wiki/User:Jroo222" title="User:Jroo222">Jroo222</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jroo222" title="User talk:Jroo222">talk</a>) <a

main temples of ancient Marathos and 180 m (590 ft) north of the Amrit Tell are the remains of a rock-carved Phoenician stadium. It is separated from the other two archaeological sites by the Nahr al-Amrit and a site called by the locals al-Meqla '(the quarry').[8] The Stadium of Amrit was first described in 1745 by Richard Pococke in Part 2 of his book, A Description of the East, and Some Other Countries, as the site where an ancient Circus was held.[9][10] Ernest Renan examined it in 1860 and discussed it in his book Mission de Phénicie, making the conclusion that the complex was not Roman in its entirety and that the stadium was undoubtedly Phoenician.[11] The stadium is about 225 to 230 meters long and 30 to 40 meters wide,[12] it has similar dimensions to the stadium of Olympia in Greece (213 × 31/32 meters). Seven rows of seats have been partially preserved.[13] The stadium was open to the west and had two entrances on the east side between seats. In addition, there was a tunnel to the interior. The stadium is located approximately at a right angle to the main temple of Amrit, the Maabed. The temples to the north and west have open sides or which the stadium forms a common intersection. It is believed that the Amrit stadium was the location for sacred competitions where anointing and funeral games took place.[13] Labib Boutros, former director of athletics at the American University of Beirut has conducted recent studies of the stadium and suggested that its construction may date back as far as 1500 BC, saying that the Amrit stadium was "devoted to sports in Phoenicia several centuries before the Olympic Games".[14]</p></blockquote> <p><a href="/wiki/Amrit#Stadium" title="Amrit">Amrit Stadium</a> <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/60.54.13.118"
