Wondering How Stadium Theater Seating Have Changed With Time

By Jocelyn Davidson


When it comes to movie theaters, religious institutions, sports, or performance arts arrangements; there is something unique about the way the seats are organized. What is unique about stadium theater seating is that people who are seated at back should be able to see the performance without hindrance, even though there are thousands of people who are viewing the same act or performance at the same time.

Most of the time, the stage is raised in the case of concert chairs, compared to the seats in sports grounds, so you have no more mountain view when you see the seats at the back. The audience might sit on the ground level or flat surface instead of raised steps, and the stage might be in the center or at one end, where actors will come and do the act or play. Hence, the audience can view the performance without any problem as it was in stadium seating arrangement, even though the chairs are just on the flat surface.

Physically challenged women and men who have the desire to watch the shows efficiently use concourse spaces. Here, there are no chairs, and provide big space to move around with their wheelchairs. Others will use the steps to climb and reach their seats to watch the shows.

This same space also helps people to the exit areas after the show, or come in during the beginning of the show. These steps are characteristics of stadium seating everywhere. Arranging this area greatly helps the physically challenged audience members so that the steps to their seats do not intimidate them.

Other people utilize these same spaces as easy exits and entrances. Though they can easily climb to their regular seats, these large areas make it easier for everyone to get in and out of the stadium. Most stadiums will have these areas available, and they are usually large enough to fit physical disability seats to the side of them.

Seating today can come forward, it can recline, has cup holders, and cushioning for ease and comfort for the best customer experience. Older seats were fixed, and could not really be folded or opened. It was made of solid materials and couldn't open or close. Overall, they were just not as comfortable as modern seats are for people who have to sit for a very long time to enjoy the show.

Theatre seating has adopted stadium-seating arrangements, such as raised seats at the back and seats on flat surfaces in the front. Theatres have slopes of 10 to 15 degrees to provide elevation. This rise in elevation allows everyone who has attended the concert to properly witness the event without having to bob their heads around other people in the front.

The stereo effect will be good when you sit off-center in the theater. You can hear the bass, treble, and other minute sounds very clearly. Sound technicians also sit at the center of the theater, or 2/3 back to the theater to check the sound effects during construction of the theatre setting. Therefore, you can also sit at these offset locations and still have a great sound experience during concerts or other events.
