[edit] Dimensions & Propostions

The map of the Constaninople hippodrome shows it is longer and skinner than one 400 ft. wide (presumably total width, not track width) and 800 ft. long (on a side). Unfortunately the map doesn't have a scale. The map at this site if it does in fact show the Hippodrome at Caesarea Maritima, shows one that is closer in proportion to 400 ft. wide and 600-800ft. long. Can someone find measurements? --Bejnar 18:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a bit of controversy, but those hippodromes are better, and more often called circuses.--SkiDragon 19:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oktoberfest Connection

There was a line in the article about a a "Hippodrome" tent at Oktoberfest. This information is unsourced and contradicts the sourced statements in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest article. I have removed it. 208.240.243.170 18:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
