Ballroom at Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center (MCEC)

Ballroom is 61 x 61 m (200 x 200 ft), 3,721 m² (40,052 sq ft), with a 9.8 m (32 ft) ceiling.

Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 9.8 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 15 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 61 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 97 x 15 (16296 x 2520 px, 14,550 kg, 269.2 kW).

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, Ballroom holds about 8,082 theater seats, 3,306 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 2,273 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 54 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
