Stadium seating is a technique used in performing-arts venues, educational facilities, religious institutions, and movie theaters to allow more guests to see an event with less blockage than traditional seating. Like seating in a football or baseball stadium, stadium seating in theaters is usually a 30 degree slope stepped upwards from the bottom of the theater, as opposed to the approximately 15 degree gentle slope in traditional theaters. This slope improves sightlines for visitors and reduces the chance that a tall person will block the view of a short person behind them. Sometimes the sloping floor is not stepped, with the disadvantage that items can roll down. There has been some criticism of stadium seating because it usually isn't possible for disabled people in wheelchairs to climb them. To reduce the problem, venues with stadium seating generally mark the row at walk-in level for disabled patrons. This row is more open than those above or below it and includes empty spaces for wheelchairs
