Stadium-style seating is a special design of a theater in which all or some of the seats are arranged much like that at a baseball stadium or other sports venue. Each row of seats is higher than the row in front of it, so there is less obstruction of view, and often more legroom.
This style of theater is becoming increasingly popular around the country, and most new theaters are now built with stadium style seating.
To find movies being presented in theaters with stadium-style seating, look for the logo at the right in the schedule listings.
