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 54.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 86 x 2 (17200 x 400 px, 1,342 kg, 27.5 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 86 x 2 = 172 | 43 x 1 m | 17200 x 400 | 1,342 kg / 2,958 lb | 27.5 kW, 132 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, South Barn holds about 6,317 theater seats, 2,584 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 1,776 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 47.1 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
