back row
Theater's distant seating
The back row is the rearmost line of seats in a theater, classroom, or similar space.
Students who sit in the back row often want to avoid attention or participation.
In rugby, the back row refers to the three forwards—two flankers and a number eight—who pack down at the rear of the scrum.
We grabbed seats in the back row so we could slip out early.
