How Do Stadiums
Resist Forces?
Stadiums are anchored in the ground.
Solid rock holds them in place. Load travels
down to the ground. This spreads out
weight. Stadiums have steel
superstructures . They have thin steel rods.
Rods are wrapped in concrete . Theyre like
steel tubes. This makes stadiums strong.
Rods hold the concrete together.
Braces are added to superstructures Stadiums resist forces Forces - photo 12

Stadiums resist forces . Forces include
wind and earthquakes. Engineers use
braces to design stadiums. Braces bend.
They dont snap easily. They take in
forces. They spread out forces.
Football stadiums are designed to run
north to south. This way, sunlight wont
bother players. Baseball stadiums let wind
whip through them. Wind travels up over the
top. It speeds down to the field. Then, it
goes over the other side. Wind can affect
how balls fly.

How Do Stadiums
Help Spectators See?
Large stadiums can seat over 100,000
people. They have fold-down seats. This
saves space. This lets people sit or stand.
Seats are set in rows. Rows are at different
levels. Seats start at field level. They rise
to the top. Top rows are higher in the sky.
This tiered seating lets people have clear
views. People can see from all angles.
