Chicago, which has nine members, seemed a bit cramped. The stage, at 65 feet wide and 30 feet deep, is smaller than at The Sands, which has an 80-feet-wide stage. As at Sands Event Center, Philadelphia’s Electric Factory and even flat-floored arenas such as Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, the drawback is that if someone very tall is seated ahead of you, you’re going to have an impeded view.īut the stage at The Xcite Center was elevated enough that even from a distance, the sightline was good. The seating is divided into three sections of up to 30 rows, all on a flat floor. The room is wide and short – meaning all of the seats are relatively close to the stage.
