What was the size of globe theatre in past?

The Globe Theatre in Shakespeare's time was a large circular amphitheatre that could hold up to 3,000 spectators. It was similar in size to modern sports arenas, with the stage at the center and the audience seated around it. The Globe was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and it quickly became one of the most popular theatres in London. The Globe was reconstructed in 1997 on the original site, and it is now a popular tourist attraction and venue for performances of Shakespeare's plays.
