The floor of the arena is oval in shape, stretching near one hundred fifty feet along the east-west axis and seventy-five along the north-south. The floor is made of slate set so precisely that it appears to be one solid piece. Five sparring rings are cut into the stone floor, three along the northern wall and two staggered with them along the south. Each of these rings is twenty feet in diameter with perhaps ten feet separating each from the other. A wall ten feet high surrounds this oval. A gate at the end of the north axis is the only entrance. Rising around the wall in a bowl shape are the stands, plain bleachers for the most part, although the east, west and south cardinal points have small areas separated off from the bleachers, filled with comfortable chairs apparently set aside for the nobility. On the floor of the arena at the east end of the long axis is a table with three chairs for the judges of the event.
