Olympic stadium are engineering feets

Lets start with the first stadium ever made (Athens olympic stadium). This first stadium was built in the 6th century 330 BC it was then renovated in 1896 by an architect named Anasstasios Mextaxas. This stadium was built to play Panathenaic games every 4 years to honor goddess Athena. The reason why I mentioned the first stadium ever built is because that was the start of the marvelous olympic stadiums we see in our cities to this day.

Im going to make a list of the top 10 olmpic stadiums ever built in my opinion and your more than welcome to suggest ones that you think are the best down in the comments
