For stadiums & arenas

Every suite. Every set-up. Sold before the site visit.

A stadium sells more event space than most hotels — executive boxes, lounges, concourses, pitch-view restaurants, a flagship auditorium — and every enquiry starts with the same two questions: will we fit, and what will it look like? Metis answers both with a measured plan and a 3D walkthrough of your room, set up for their event, with a guest in every seat.

The problems we built this for

Not generic event software with a stadium page bolted on — these features exist because stadium and arena rooms need them.

“How many can the East Lounge take as a dinner?”

Honest capacities, not brochure numbers

Draw the room once, to measurement. Then every layout — banquet, cabaret, theatre, classroom, reception — gets a genuine, measured capacity with real table sizes, chair clearances and fire-exit keep-clears. Quote a number you can stand behind.

“What's the theatre count with the bank out and two aisles?”

Retractable seating, done properly

The retractable bank is a standard Metis item: set a cross-gangway every few rows and up to three stepped aisles, and the seat count updates to what genuinely remains — no more counting tiers off a laminated sheet.

“The client can't picture a concourse as a gala dinner.”

A full house in 3D, before a single chair is set

Walk the client through the room in 3D with every seat filled — tiered bank, flat-floor rows, dressed tables. Blackout arena ceilings, LED-lit coffer trays in your event's colour, trusses and moving heads: the atmosphere, not just the furniture.

“Conference out at 5, dinner in at 7.”

One room, every set-up, saved

Save each space as a locked room template — the walls can't be nudged by a Tuesday temp — and keep every sellable configuration as its own plan. Turnarounds become a plan swap, and the kit list for each is printable.

“Can everyone see the stage from row K?”

Sightlines, scored seat by seat

Best View scores every seat in the room — including every tier of the bank — against the stage, screen or top table, and flags the seats you shouldn't sell as premium.

“Enquiries come in as ‘what's your capacity?’ emails.”

Your rooms, selling from your own website

Publish your real, measured spaces with the website widget: visitors pick a room, try their guest count, see it laid out in 2D and 3D — and the enquiry lands with the room, layout and numbers already attached.

Empty stadium auditorium in Metis 3D — retractable seating bank and flat-floor rows before setup
The room, empty. Retractable bank in, flat floor set for a morning conference.
The same stadium auditorium in Metis 3D with an audience in every seat
Every seat taken. The same room, shown sold out — this is what the client buys.
Stadium-scale auditorium in Metis 3D with photographic wall finishes applied — the room's real character in the walkthrough
And in your room's real finishes. Photoreal Venue applies photographs of your actual walls to the 3D, so the walkthrough wears the room's own character — industrial windows, panelling, brand colours. We set this up as part of every flagship-room build.

We built a full stadium-scale auditorium to prove it

The renders on this page aren't stock — they're a complete stadium-scale auditorium built in Metis, from empty shell to full house, in an afternoon:

Your flagship room could be the demo. Send us its dimensions and a few photos and we'll build it, free — [email protected].

How stadium teams roll it out

  1. Model the sellable spacesDraw each suite, lounge and hall to measurement — or send us the first one. Lock the structure so the architecture is fixed.
  2. Save every configuration that sellsDinner, conference, reception, exam, party — each as a plan with its honest capacity and kit list.
  3. Sell with the walkthroughAnswer "will we fit?" with a measured plan, and "what will it look like?" with a 3D tour of their event in your room — on a laptop, an iPad in the space, or from your own website.

Questions stadium teams ask

Can Metis model our retractable seating bank?

Yes — it's a standard item, not a special build. Drag it to your bank's real footprint, set walkways every 3–6 rows and up to three stepped aisles, pick the seat colour, and the seat count updates to what genuinely remains. In 3D, every tier shows with a guest in every seat.

How many rooms and layouts can we save?

No limits. Most teams save each space as a locked room template, then create event plans from the template — the room's structure stays fixed while every event gets its own furniture.

We're on Prismm / AllSeated. Can we bring our plans across?

Yes — export them as PDFs and Metis detects the room structure and turns them back into editable rooms. There's a full walkthrough on the Prismm / AllSeated alternative page.

Does it need installing on venue machines?

No — Metis runs in the browser: laptop, iPad in the room, or the ops wall screen. Team plans include multiple seats so sales, ops and catering see the same live plan.
