The stadium was built long before dimensions for athletics venues were standardized and its track and layout follow the ancient hairpin-like model.
It is located in downtown Athens, east of the National Gardens and the Zappeion Mansion, west of the Pankrati residential district and between the twin pine-covered hills of Ardettos and Agra.
In more recent years this stadium has been often used to honour the homecoming of victorious Greek athletes, most notably the Greek national football team after its victory at the 2004 European Football Championship and also the opening ceremony of the World Athletics Championships in 1997, on a concept by composer Vangelis Papathanasiou.

Panathinaiko Stadium, which hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896, was back in business as an Olympic venue Sunday, the site of first-round matches in women's archery.

Despite losing, Vavatsi was upbeat about competing in the stadium known by most Greeks as the "Kalimarmaro," or good marble.

I first visited this stadium in June 2000, when I was here to collect interviews with athletes competing in an IAAF Grand Prix, as well as make some contacts for our work here four years later.
The stadium then was rather bland and dumpy, with a chaotic system of inner stairwells and tunnels I kept getting lost in as I ran back and forth from the stands to the interview areas at the end of the races.
Since then, the Olympic organisers have completely refurbished the stadium, transforming it into a state-of-the-art facility with unobstructed seating and a strikingly beautiful roof, designed by Santiago Calatrava (who also designed the cauldron), that arches over the stadium without touching it (it is anchored to the ground outside).

ATHENS —; An American who left his war-wasted country of Eritrea almost 20 years ago crossed the finish of the marathon in the magnificent and marbled Panathinaiko Stadium last night, reaching almost immediately to comfort and congratulate the Italian lying on his back in front of him who had won the race.
Then, into the 1,800-year-old stadium, still rosy from the light only as it can be in Greece, soft and sideways, came a Brazilian who received the loudest show of appreciation from the swaying, flag-waving spectators.
The final event of the Athens Games was a superb and appropriate conclusion, spirited, flawed, exactly the marriage of the ancient and contemporary as the Greeks had hoped — sport 2,000 years ago, and sport today.
