THE COLOSSEUM aka “DNC INVESCO FIELD”

The correct name is the Flavian ampitheatre, after the dynasty of emperors who oversaw its construction. The nickname Colosseum, or Coliseum, derives either from a colossal statue of the emperor Nero that once stood nearby which, according to the ancient historian Suetonius, was over 35 metres high (120 ft); or from the colossal dimensions of the building itself. The Colosseum stands below the slopes of the Oppian hill in a marshy valley encircled by the Coelian, Esquiline and Palatine hills.

 The Colosseum is massive in its proportions, covering an area of 7.5 acres: the elliptical outer circumference measures 527 metres (1,730 ft) and is c.50 metres high (187 ft). Four superimposed orders of arches articulated by pilasters with Tuscan, Ionic and Corinthian capitals decorate the perimeter wall. The attic storey has sockets for wooden poles which were used to support a sailcloth awning (velarium) which shaded the seats below. At maximum capacity the Colosseum could accommodate up to 50,000 people, who entered the ampitheatre through 80 numbered arches (vomitoria) on the ground floor to their tiered seats. At the ends of the two main axes were special entrances for important spectators. The northern entrance led to the imperial stand.
The interior is divided into three parts: the cavea (seating area); podium (imperial terrace) and the central arena in which the games took place. This measures 46 x 76 metres. The word "arena" is Latin for "sand" and refers to the sand which was used to cover the floor of the amphitheatre. This would soak up the blood, prevent the combatants slipping and could be raked over between the games.

 Both Christians and Jews regarded the COLOSSEUM as a site of martyrdom. The Christians held that early believers had been thrown to the lions there while the Jews believed that 15,000 Hebrew slaves had been used for its construction. There are no records, however, of religious martyrdom ever having taken place in the arena; indeed, the only Imperial edict on the subject seems to have been one forbidding the sacrifice of Christians in the arena! It would also appear that the people who worked on the construction of the Colosseum were very specialized, thus excluding the other hypothesis.

 PROGRAMME
The programme of the games are published on the city walls. The variety and creativity involved will be as enormous as the cruelty. The spectacle will last all day, beginning with the Homeless Hunts in the morning and climaxing with the arrival of the demonstrators in the late afternoon. Between events there will be other entertainments such as mock or comic fairy  fights and music. Food and drink will also be served throughout the day and perfume will be sprayed into the crowd to mask the stench of blood and ordure.

 WILD HOMELESS HUNTS
Venationes, (games involving captured Homeless and radical democrats) will continue until such time as the Homeless appear to be winning. Prior to the Imperial Edicts exactly one thousand and two radical democrats ( vetted as past or present members of CPUSA; SDS, WUO, The Muslim Brotherhood, ad infinauseum) shall enter the stadium floor and beat themselves over the head with large drumsticks until blood flows. (we must outdo the Chinese opening ceremonies) In order to celebrate his triumph over the American people, the Emperor of The World will have lackeys organize games involving 10,000 Union Workers and 12,000 wild eyed democrats. Such numbers give an idea of organization required to hold these events. The wild beasts (horses, crocodiles, bears, lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, ostriches, bulls, hyenas, gazelles, camels, giraffes) were imported from the local Zoo. Over the week, the number of animals to be slaughtered for entertainment of the mob is said to almost exterminate certain species from Colorado. (Sponsored under the watchful eye of animal rights activists) The animals will be kept in the Zoo with all the Homeless people gathered from the HUNT. The Homeless shall be given haircuts at which time they will be displayed on the arena floor. They shall be joined by all anti Imperial demonstrators gathered from the holding pens at the Gulag. To release the Zoo animals suddenly into the arena through a series of concealed trapdoors cattle prods will be employed to enrage the Zoo animals. It seems that the Emperor is often thrilled by watching animals perform tricks in the arena and thus dog and pony shows have become increasingly popular.

Democratic Attendees
Ave, Emperorr, morituri te salutant! (Hail, Emperor of the World, those about to vote salute (and kneel before ) you). 

Attendees are prisoners of ignorance, bought for the purpose, or even stupid volunteers. They trained in Socialist schools under a Socialist, who was often a retired Communist. There will be four types of voters: the ignorant, the Radicals, heavily armed with an Attorney, an O branded in their forehead and carrying assorted bombs;( in case they see a Federal Building or Military Recruiting Office) the Financiers, accompanied by their leashed attack attorneys; and less represented, (they couldn’t afford the entry fee) the AVERAGE AMERICAN DEMOCRAT who is still trying to understand what happened to their party.

The Emperor of the World likes to watch women voters in the arena illuminated by torches at night. The Empress keeps a leash around his neck, tightly held. He also will see the classical myths as retold in the arena by Gay, Lesbian, and Animal Rights Activist.

 The Emperor of the World will turn the arena into the setting for the story of the United Nations (for which he plans).

 The moon shall rise over the arena while THE ONE who knows global warming watches over a pro-life advocate being mauled to death by a late term Abortionist.

 Sometimes even the lesser Emperors of Rome themselves participated in the spectacles. Commodus (180-192 AD) descended into the arena no less than 635 times, much to the embarrassment of the senators, who considered such behavior beneath the imperial dignity.

 The closing ceremony will be a skit spoofing The Three Stooges as played by:
