SEATING INFORMATION

AmericanAirlines Arena is designed on the premise of “basketball first” sightlines. Several benefits are derived from this design criteria:

Improved end-zone sightlines

Horizontal distance to end-zone seating is approximately 30 ft closer to event floor [relative to standard “multi-use arenas”] providing a more intimate feel to the bowl.

Smaller building volume translating into improved building acoustics.

VARIABLE RISE SEATING SYSTEM

To facilitate concerts, hockey or ice related events AmericanAirlines Arena is equipped with a custom manufactured variable rise seating system designed to maximize flexibility and optimize sightlines for your event. Using hydraulic technology end court and side court seating systems easily convert from basketball to hockey rakes so as to optimize sightlines. By removing the inboard seating system behind the stage several different options are available for stage access including upstage right, upstage left, upstage center as well as elephant door access upstage far right. This flexibility provides for quick and easy load-in and load-out maneuverability. Additionally, the seating system provides for increased flexibility at the mix platform location so as to minimize production kills typically associated with sound, video and camera platforms.

ACCESSIBLE SEATING PLATFORMS

AmericanAirlines Arena complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA] 1990. Included in our seating inventory is a better than 1% wheelchair accessible and 1% companion seating within the bowl. Contained within the lower bowl are four (4) fixed platforms and nine (9) convertible platforms which can be easily transformed into conventional area seating so as to maximize the seat count for your event.

SEATING CONFIGURATIONS

AmericanAirlines Arena can offer a myriad of seating configurations to best facilitate your event thereby maximizing seat count and revenues. The following is a list of our standard configurations and associated seat counts.

Configuration Seat Count

Center Stage – 360 20,000

End Stage - 360 18,300 / 17,100

Small End Stage - 270 14,000

Large End Stage - 270 15,400

End Stage - 180 12,200

Theater Set 3,774 / 4,287 / 5,818

Basketball 19,600

Hockey 14,500

NOTES:

1. H/V is the slope of the rigging bridle with respect to the rigging beam centerline. H is the horizontal distance from the beam centerline to the suspended load and V is the vertical drop to the suspended load from the beam centerline.

2. T max is the TOTAL maximum applied tension force in the rigging bridle for the given bridle slope. V max is the vertical component of T max. H max is the horizontal component of T max.

3. The MAXIMUM SINGLE CONCENTRATED RIGGING LOAD on the rigging beams including

the reaction induced from the supported rigging beams shall NOT exceed 5,000 lbs. (with the exception of 10,000 lbs for reactions induced from the rigging beams on W 24 x 55) or the

MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOAD indicated in the table above. The distance between any two

adjacent rigging loads on a rigging beam shall be at least 5 FEET

4. For rigging beams which carry multiple rigging loads, the following equation shall be satisfied;

fH fV

--------- < 1 & --------- < 1.0

Hmax Vmax

where fH is the applied horizontal load to the rigging beam, fV is the applied vertical load to the

rigging beam and Hmax and Vmax are obtained from appropriate columns in the rigging beam schedule. The loads shall include the rigging load induced reaction of all the rigging beams framing into the beam in consideration.

APPENDIX III.2 Rigging Guidelines – Center Stage Configuration

1. The overall rigging load for an end stage configuration shall not exceed 105,000 lbs.

2. The maximum total load distributed to each truss shall be limited as follows;

TRUSS MARK MAXIMUM LOAD

TRUSS A 40,000 lbs.

TRUSS B 45,000 lbs.

3. The symbol ------------0---------- indicates the intersection of rigging beams with the roof trusses,

shown on RC-1. The TOTAL VERTICAL LOAD at these points shall not exceed 20,000 lbs.

TOTAL VERTICAL LOAD refers to the sum of all rigging loads supported directly at the intersection location being considered. This is to include the rigging load induced reaction of all rigging beams framing to this location in addition to any rigging loads directly supported at the same intersection location.

4. Rigging bridals may be attached to the existing rigging beams that are painted and marked as indicated on the rigging schedule or to the truss chords at points marked thus ---------0-------- as

indicated on drawing RC-1. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES shall rigging be suspended from any

members painted BLACK or indicated by DASHED LINES on drawing RC-1 WITHOUT

WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THORTON-TOMASETTI ENGINEERS.

5. Rigging loads can be assumed to act directly at the intersection point, described above, if the load

is applied within SIX INCHES of the truss flange. All other loads shall be considered to be acting on the rigging beam itself.

6. The maximum allowable loads on individual rigging beams shall be determined from the

RIGGING BEAM SCHEDULE. The values given in the rigging beam schedule are for loads applied more than six inches from the end of the rigging beam under consideration. Loads applied less than six inches from the member may be considered to act directly at the intersection point.

7. The top flange of any beam can support rigging is painted red, blue or gold and is marked thus

(▲,♦ ,* or ● ) on the RC-1 drawing.
