Click to see four floor plans for the Bangor Auditorium, illustrating various sets available. Please feel free to copy this plan and use it as a tool for putting together the seating arrangements for your event. The trade show floor plan gives you the optimal set for booths in the Auditorium. Please keep in mind that adding anything else to the room (stages, tables, etc.) would result in less booths.
TIP Trade shows and craft shows require special electrical hookups. Be sure to inform the Coordinator of extensive electrical needs at least two months prior to your event. Last minute requests result in extra costs and cannot be guaranteed.
The seating capacities listed below are for one side (left or right) of the auditorium. For full house capacities, just double these figures.
Upper Balcony: 496
Lower Balcony: 562
Stadium: 596
Bleachers: 1260
Floor see below
The seating capacity on the floor depends on many factors – the presence and size of a stage, how many bleachers are utilized, etc. The total floor exit capacity is 3000, including any bleacher seating.
The Bangor Fire Department recommends the following seating pattern:
maximum of 28 seats per row
minimum 6’ center aisle between rows
minimum 6’ side and rear aisles
Other Events
Many events held at the Auditorium do not utilize stadium seating (in the traditional sense) at all. Tradeshows, dances and banquets can all be held in this facility easily. For more information on these types of events, please speak to your Coordinator.
