stadium seating

Ascending spectator rows

Stadium seating is an arrangement where rows of seats rise progressively higher toward the back, giving each row an unobstructed view over the heads of those in front.

The term comes from sports stadiums but now commonly describes movie theaters: The new multiplex has stadium seating throughout.

It can also refer to tiered seating arrangements in classrooms or auditoriums.
