ºÚÁÏÍø does ðŸŸï¸ Stadium emoji mean?
The stadium emoji depicts a round (in most cases) structure, usually marked with flags or floodlights, that represents the type of building that plays host to large crowds for sporting events and rock concerts.
On most platforms, a green field is seen in the center, which is where games like football, baseball, and soccer take place. Which is why the emoji is mostly used in sports-related social-media posts.
Where does ðŸŸï¸ Stadium emoji come from?
Rah! The stadium emoji was approved as part of Unicode 7.0 in 2014 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.
The emoji is largely used in social-media posts related to sporting events and teams, which is fitting since that’s where the stadium’s roots lie. The first known structure to house large sporting events and crowds is the stadium in tiny Olympia, Greece, where the Olympic Games began in 776 BC. This stadium was dedicated to Zeus.
Fun fact: Rome’s Circus Maximus, largely a chariot-racing venue, was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome, and isn’t round in shape, but is instead long and oval. Go ahead and whip that knowledge out at the next football game.
