large sports arena with seating
A very big place with many seats around a field, where people watch sports games or big shows.
Padrão de uso:
a stadium for [a sport/team/event]
Erro comum:
Plural: Both "stadiums" and "stadia" are correct, but "stadiums" is much more common in modern English. Learners sometimes write *"a stadiums"* or use *"stadia"* in everyday speech, which can sound too formal or old-fashioned. Pronunciation/article: It takes "a", not "an" ("a stadium"), because the initial sound is a consonant /st-/, not a vowel.
Sinônimos
arena (Can be smaller and is often indoor; used for many types of events, not only field sports.)
|
ballpark (Mainly American English and usually for baseball; more informal in tone.)
|
sports ground (More common in British English; can suggest a simpler or smaller place than a stadium.)
