Grand Arena

The Grand Arena is one of the largest and best known venues for Gladiator Fights within the Empire.  
Dominating the Downtown area of Agami pretty much the same way the Old Opera dominates Opera, it is one one of the must-see landmarks of the capital. 
The Master of the Sands of the Grand Arena has been repeatedly granted the Voice of the Emperor 'within the Arena on behalf of the Arena' to enable them to sort out disputes between noble patrons.  
== Layout ==
* visitor capacity appr. 50k
* elliptic floorplan, with the sand appr. 120x90m in diametre
* only two significant loges, one for the emperor (above the beasts gate, viewing the heroes' gate) and one for other guests of honour above the heroes' gate. Other nobles or guilds wishing seats separated from the general public will use temporarily roped-off areas of the ranks.
* The master of the sands has their own booth built in the western pit wall.
* Besides the administration, the main parts of its gladiator school and a training centre, the arena houses smaller areas for the other regular schools showing there, called 'kennels'.
== Snippets ==
* Underneath the Arena there is the Hall of Fallen Heroes, where the bodies of the most popular gladiators of the last centuries are enterred and their sarkophagi can be visited for a small fee.  
* The annual finals take place on the third weekend of December.
