Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 3.1 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 2 rows of 500 mm tile flown, which is tight; ground-stack or go lower on trim. Along the 35.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 56 x 2 (11200 x 400 px, 874 kg, 17.9 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	46 x 3 = 138	27.6 x 1 m	35328 x 1296	621 kg / 1,369 lb	12.2 kW, 59 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	56 x 2 = 112	28 x 1 m	11200 x 400	874 kg / 1,926 lb	17.9 kW, 86 A @ 208 V

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, San Francisco holds about 2,551 theater seats, 1,043 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 717 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 28.1 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
