I agree. Make every seat the “best seat in the house” or don’t bother.
Speaking as a Short King :tm: - this is the reason I don’t bother with large amphitheaters most of the time. MAKE THE SLOPE BIGGER!

anyone know the current elevation chance from stage to the last row of the seats in the current amp? Guessing its only 5-6 feet at the most

Roughly 8’ according to IMAPS, which seems right, if not low. Grade is tricky to “eye-ball”. 10’ of fall across 226’ is only 4%.

Chatter on the web says that the current Raleigh Convention Center is too small for GalaxyCon to continue as is, insane crowds. If there was ever proof that the convention center needs to expand it’s last Saturday at GalaxyCon.

Idk I’d be fine being known as the Cameron Indoor of convention centers.

Yea, but other teams aren’t considering relocating to another venue all together potentially making more revenue.

I just received an email from the city about a meeting to showcase the 3 new design options for the Convention Center. Next Thursday 11/7.
