I believe also whoever wins that ball game is sacrificed lol. It was a huge honor to them. Big circles that the ball is tossed into. Kinda reminds me of the game they played on Battlestar Galactica. Triad i think.

Also, the acoustics within the arena area were awesome. There were little holes at each end that amplified the sound within. Ancient architecture is pretty damn cool.
