Venue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A venue is the location for an event. The word venue derives from the Latin for to come, and implies a place that people come to. As such, the term is used about as variously as there are activities to meet together for. Generally venues have a specific purpose, though some, such as large stadiums, may be used for a number of different activities.
Usage of venue includes:
- In the legal world, venue is a term used for the place of a trial.
- In the music industry, the term music venue is used to refer to concert sites, especially among touring acts.
- in the entertainment industry, the term refers to the location, or type of location, in which the entertainment is held.
- In sports, the term is sometimes used to refer to the building or stadium in which an event takes place, most ubiquitously in the Olympic games.
