Sports events use stadium seating designed in bowl fashion, while concerts usually have a stage set up at the north end. In recent years, the ‘Theater of the Clouds’ configuration has become popular for more intimate stage shows. For this, huge curtain backdrops are set up around a space in the middle of the arena. Performers play to an audience seated on the east and west sides.
