Ares' Colosseum, otherwise known as "The Arena", is a large colosseum designed for entertaining the masses through bloody spectacle. The fights are televised on pay-per-view and Ares manages affairs both on-stage and off. The colosseum is actually located within an active volcano, kept in check by Ares' god-powers, and contains a great deal of many minor locations, including the Arena itself.

The Arena

The Arena is the main focus of the colosseum and the primary location that most people think of when they think of Ares' Colosseum. Most people often refer to the colosseum as "The Arena". Yet the Arena itself is merely the stage upon which the combatants do battle. It is a circular area at the dead centre of the volcano floor. Usually the Arena floor is a sandy bed upon which the fighters can engage, however often the sandy ground is broken by lava pits or any other obstacle that Ares devises. Other areas of the colosseum are directly attached to the Arena, including the 7 Eleven.

Snake Pit

There's a snake pit somewhere on the Arena floor that is filled with dozens of snakes.

Officials' Board

Aside from Ares, control of the matches is often delegated to an official or group of officials. One time Antestarr had the title of official and was able to designate rule changes. However he was ousted and, instead, the role fell upon ex-DMV employees, who hold a convoluted system of paperwork to get anything done.

Sports Garage

The sports garage is a garage attached to the colosseum where Ares keeps his personal, and very expensive, sports cars. It was destroyed with explosives, however, by Rob X during his feud with Ares. Rob X knew this to be Ares' only true weakness.

Ares' Office

Ares' Office, sometimes called "Ares' Command Centre", is where Ares does his behind-the-scenes work for the arena matches. It has many televisions in the room, showing different angles of the arena matches. There are a lot of papers in the room from sponsors offering money for commercial deals. There's a huge cedar wood desk in the room where the telephone is located.

Bleachers

The bleachers of the Colosseum are where the audience members can sit and watch the matches within the arena. The bleachers surround the sandy arena at the centre of the Colosseum.

The Crow's Nest

The Crow's Nest is actually a spacious room that was once the janitor's closet. The only way to reach the Crow's Nest was through a ventilation shaft from the men's bathroom of The Arena. However the Crow's Nest was claimed by The Otter as his new base after the destruction of the 7 Eleven. Contained within the Crow's Nest was an immeasurable amount of pornography, along with a great deal of furniture and appliances that The Otter stole from popular retail outlets.

Arena Bar

The Arena Bar appeared much like any regular American bar and sold alcohol to both participants of the Arena and the audience members. The Arena Bar was located off of the main arena floor, putting it in a dangerous position. To exemplify this, the Arena Bar's lifespan wasn't very long and was destroyed by NeS Page 4 by The Otter's Vulcan Flame when The Otter became dissatisfied with the barman.

7 Eleven

Otherwise known as Fort Xanthan.

The 7 Eleven of the colosseum seems to be directly connected to The Arena itself (rather than the stands where the audience would be) suggesting that it was meant for the fighters of the Arena rather than the audience members. It has two exits, the left leading to the arena while the right leads elsewhere. The 7 Eleven is managed by Sundeep. However the 7 Eleven was once claimed by The Otter as his "Fort Xanthan" and from it he controlled a horde of audience members keen on him tossing out freebies from the shop. It didn't last long as it was destroyed by a Rabbit Walker.
