what is stadium seating in a movie theater

Stadium seating in a movie theater refers to the layout of the seats in the theater. The seats are arranged in a tiered fashion, with each row of seats being slightly elevated above the one in front of it, providing the best views of the screen possible. This design allows for a shorter theater since the pitch of the floor is greater, which means less real estate. Stadium seating is available in most movie theaters and is designed to cut down on distractions from other audience members.
