One thing I noted when I was there was how steep the incline of the steps were, and also how big the steps were in comparison to other ancient sites I visited. You can get seriously winded walking up them if you're not pacing yourself, as they're much steeper than they look, and no, I'm not fat or out of shape, they're just steeper and more of an exertion than the slope of modern steps we're all used to.

On the other hand it gave each person a more unobstructed view probably, and allowed more people closer to the center. Besides the steepness, the thing that struck me is the elliptical shape of the outside. And that the center portion is not exactly elliptical because the even spacing of the rows of seats distort it somewhat. Making it more of an eye shape.
