Definition(s)

  • Places for large-scale public assembly have long been a part of cities—from public halls and fairgrounds to stadia and opera houses. Although private venues such as Chicago's International Amphitheater (home to five national political conventions through 1968) often housed major conventions, the twentieth century saw a substantial expansion of new public convention facilities.
