Why is the size of the coliseum significant?

Except for the lower arcade which has a height of 7.05m, the rest of the arcades are at 4.2m width, for a height of 6.45m. This is the reason that the Colosseum could accommodate more than 50,000 viewers who had a total of 80 entrances to get into the Colosseum.

I hope its help
