A stadium is a two-dimensional geometric shape constructed of a rectangle with semicircles at a pair of opposite sides. Alternative names include discorectangle and obround.
A capsule is produced by revolving a stadium around the line of symmetry that bisects the semicircles.
The shape is used for athletics and horse racing tracks.
The perimeter of a stadium is calculated by the formula and the area by where a is the length of the straight sides and r is the radius of the semicircles.
