StartupRealities No 135 FootballColosseum is a hotel complex developer which builds hotels encircling entire football stadiums. Instead of seats around the field, the complex has hotel buildings with thousands of rooms overlooking the field. The hotel buildings are up to 20 storeys high and the stadiums host top league football (soccer) matches in country's national championship. Guests choose their rooms in a similar way to buying football match tickets: the price depends on the location of the room around the field and the floor. CEO QUOTE "Imagine the Colosseum in Rome but filled entirely with hotel rooms and five times taller! This is what our FootballColosseums look like, " said company founder and CEO Forbes Colonel.

StartupRealities No 98 OlympicShip is a sports events organiser which is building an Olympic-size stadium on a giant ship in order to host Olympic Games and World Cup size events. The ship will be moored at different coastal locations for major sports events and will host music concerts for the rest of the year. CEO QUOTE "You've heard about cruise ships converted into hotels to help accommodate tourists during Olympic Games. But the concept of a stadium on a ship is entirely novel. Our Olympic Ship will be a slow-moving barge, as ship technology goes. However, it will be one hell of a modern supersize stadium," said OlympicShip founder and CEO Olympia Shiparova.
