examples

  1. Events at the Asian Games are being held at about 20 different venues in and around Doha.
  2. (a tourist at the Asian Games)
    I got this great map at the Tourist Information Center. It shows where the venues for each event are. See, the gold stars are for indoor venues, and the silver stars are for outdoor venues.
  3. There was a change of venue because of the rain.
  4. The high elevation of Mexico City made it a challenging Olympic venue.
  5. (strolling past the Yoyogi Olympic Pool)
    a: What an interesting building that is!
    b: Haven't you ever seen it before? It was the swimming venue for the Tokyo Olympics.
