The Colosseum – in the heart of Rome. The most spectacular stadium of the ancients and the largest amphitheatre ever built in the world. One hundred and fifty-six meters wide. One hundred and eighty-eight meters in length and a towering forty-eight meters high. The Colosseum was capable of accommodating more than fifty-thousand spectators across five tiers and had one primary purpose: to give Rome's residents a spectacle the like of which had never been seen before. The architecture was perfectly adapted to the bloody fights happening here. A true legend. Many say that even today, the Colosseum can be compared to any modern stadium. But what happens when this legend meets a modern-day icon?
The Colosseum faces: Wembley. A gigantic arena. And nothing less than the most expensive football stadium ever built. Since its opening in two thousand and seven it has been seen as the "Cathedral of Football". Three hundred meters wide and three hundred and fifteen meters in length. A true colossus. Wembley, with its roof arch, is around three times higher than the Roman legend. And just like the Colosseum, Wembley has set a world record. It provides covered seating for ninety thousand football fans. More than any other stadium in the world. A contest of superlatives! Two opponents. Three categories. And lots of surprises. Which stadium revolutionized architecture worldwide? Which stadium gives fans the greater experience? And which has the most stunning spectacles?
In LEGENDS VS MODERN ICONS, the world’s latest engineering achievements, high-tech vehicles and superlative constructions compete against their legendary equivalents that are world famous and milestones in their own field. Can a modern luxury cruise ship outperform the famous Titanic? Is Wembley Stadium superior to the Colosseum? Each episode showcases one battle between a legend and its iconic modern equivalent.
