A bust of some dead person sits in front of the marble seating, the Olympic rings sit at the top under blue skies. The rise and run of the stairs is "nuts", no railings and many stairs are really ladders. I can't imagine moving crowds through this place without a lot of injuries. The Panathenaic Stadium is a World Heritage Site and part of the athletic and Olympic history of Greece. The stadium is constructed entirely of Attic marble.
