The Sports Festival Stadium is the stadium where the Sports Festival takes place. It's located in the U.A. High School campus.
Description
The stadium is an oval-shaped, open building. It features a stand with three floors and several screens for the festival.
The arena of the stadium itself consists of a circular space with a flat square of concrete in the center, which is surrounded by grass. There are many gates that lead in and out of the field.
During the fight tournament, a concrete platform made by Cementoss is built in the middle of the field, with torches located in each of the platform's corners and a concrete throne from where Cementoss gets to observe the fights.
The stadium also features a branch nurse's office, as well as waiting rooms for the participants.
History
Before Quirks, the "Olympics" was popular worldwide, but when the population shrunk, the "Olympics" declined. This led to the rise of the Sports Festival, and the stadium was built to host it.[1]
The stadium was used as the main setting of the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, where the U.A. students competed against each other in three sport events: obstacle race, cavalry battle and 1-on-1 fight tournament.
