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 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 88.8 m wall a Absen A2 Pro wall runs 142 x 2 (23856 x 336 px, 2,840 kg, 52.5 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, Verizon Center of Progress holds about 17,336 theater seats, 7,092 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 4,875 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 81.8 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
