tiered seating

Ascending audience platforms

Tiered seating is an arrangement of seats in rising rows, each level positioned higher than the one in front to give everyone an unobstructed view.

You find it in stadiums, lecture halls, theaters, and arenas.

The design ensures that spectators in back rows can see over the heads of those seated in front.

The tiered seating in the amphitheater gave every audience member a clear sightline to the stage.
