An ancient Greek unit of length, equivalent to 600 Greek shaku (about 185 m). From this, the term came to mean a stadium with a straight track the length of one stadium. A stone starting line and finish line remain, allowing the length to be measured. The actual distance varies considerably, from 178.35 m at Delphi, 184.96 m at Athens, and 191.27 m at Olympia. From the Hellenistic period, horseshoe-shaped stepped seating was built around three sides of the track, and the Athenian stadium could accommodate about 50,000 people.

古代ギリシアの長さの単位で,600ギリシア尺(約185m)に相当。これより1スタディオンの直線走路をもつ競技場を意味するようになった。石で造られたスタート・ラインとゴールが残っていて,長さの測れるものがある。デルフォイで178.35m,アテナイで184.96m,オリュンピアで191.27mなど,実際の距離にはかなり差がある。ヘレニズム期ごろから走路の3方をとりまいて馬蹄形の階段状観覧席が造られるようになり,アテナイのスタディオンは約5万人を収容した。
