1974 through 1981, the excavations of the University of California (Berkeley) team brought to light the stadium of Nemea with a seating capacity of 40,000, located southeast of the Temple of Nemian Zeus. The track had stone pipes and basins to collect drinking water. The athletes did their preparations in the apodytirion, (the word still in use today to describe the changing-room at your local gym), then entered the stage via the stadium tunnel, originating from the south side of the stadium. Most of the spectators sat on rustic seats cut out of the soft rock. Also, on the west side of the stadium there were two or three levels of proper stone seats, reaching from the stadium tunnel to the starting blocks.
Opening hours: daily 8.00-15.00.
