Very interesting. Rachel and Bryan Williams are on at the moment and they just showed the layout of the stage for the RNC at Quicken Arena.

The stage is along the one side of the basketball court instead of one of the ends of the court. Like most concert stages would be positioned. And the stage is big and wide.

This layout cuts a lot of seating in the arena. I’d say by 25% or more.

Is it being done on purpose for optics? Maybe small attendance expectations playing a part?

Just making observations and asking questions.
