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 86.6 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 138 x 2 (27600 x 400 px, 2,153 kg, 44.2 kW).

| Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 | 2.5 mm | 138 x 2 = 276 | 69 x 1 m | 27600 x 400 | 2,153 kg / 4,746 lb | 44.2 kW, 212 A @ 208 V |
| Absen PL3.9 Plus V2 | 3.9 mm | 138 x 2 = 276 | 69 x 1 m | 17664 x 256 | 2,153 kg / 4,746 lb | 38.6 kW, 186 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, Comesa Grounds holds about 16,479 theater seats, 6,741 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 4,634 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 79.6 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
