I don't know whether this story is a hoax or not. It seems more than a little bit unbelievable:

 

...[A]n archaeologist's proposal to return the Colosseum's storied arena to the state it was in when gladiators sparred with lions, has sparked a lively debate over appropriate uses of the monument that symbolizes the glories of ancient Rome.

 

Critics have fretted that the Colosseum would be turned into a venue for events like rock concerts....
