ABSTRACT

Next comes the seating capacity. If the pitch is to be of

variable size in order to cater for very different activities,

then the design capacity should be stated as two figures: the

number of seats around the maximum pitch size (perhaps

soccer or athletics) and the maximum capacity around

the smallest space user (perhaps the performers in a pop

concert, or a boxing ring). The stadium owners will have very

strong views on seating capacities as these form the basis of

their profitability calculations.
