Example of stadium seating.

"Stadium seating" can also be used as a synonym for festival seating.

Stadium seating is a technique used in movie theaters to allow more guests to see the movie screen with less blockage than traditional seating. Like seating in a football or baseball stadium, stadium seating in theaters is usually a 30 degree slope stepped upwards from the bottom of the theater, as opposed to the approximately 15 degree gentle slope in traditional theaters. Sometimes the sloping floor is not stepped, with the disadvantage that items can roll down.

There has been some criticism towards stadium seating because it usually isn't possible for disabled people in wheelchairs to climb them. To reduce the problem, theaters with stadium seating generally mark the row at walk-in level for disabled patrons. This row is more open than those above or below it and includes empty spaces for wheelchairs.
