The map of the Constaninople hippodrome shows it is longer and skinner than one 400 ft. wide (presumably total width, not track width) and 800 ft. long (on a side). Unfortunately the map doesn't have a scale. The map at this site if it does in fact show the Hippodrome at Caesarea Maritima, shows one that is closer in proportion to 400 ft. wide and 600-800ft. long. Can someone find measurements? -- Bejnar 18:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
There is a bit of controversy, but those hippodromes are better, and more often called circuses.-- SkiDragon 19:51, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
There was a line in the article about a a "Hippodrome" tent at Oktoberfest. This information is unsourced and contradicts the sourced statements in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest article. I have removed it. 208.240.243.170 18:52, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
This article says that the Circuses (it used to say circus maximus, but I think it should be compared to circuses as a class of building), are smaller than than the hippodromes, with the circuses (or at least circus maximus) running only 4 to the Hippodrome's 10 or more chariots. However, the circus (building) article (until I edited it out) said that the Hippodrome was a smaller building than a circus. A source on either of these should be found before either article makes the claim that one was bigger than the other... In addition, the Maximus article says that that site could hold 12 chariots, not 4. TheHYPO ( talk) 07:02, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello, the image labeled "Roman hippodrome in ancient city of Aphrodisias, Turkey" actually represents the "Stadium" in Aphrodisias. No mention of any hippodrome in Aphrodisias is made in the relevant wiki page. I could not suggest a better alternative from wikimedia, though. Nicola.Manini ( talk) 09:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
