Hi.

According to the calculator developed by Koos de Heer ‹
                       http://www.auryn.nl/

=======================================

Basic information: 
Width per seat (at front of chair)         2.20 feet
Depth of row (incl. leg space)             3.50 feet

Smallest side (width) of room (feet)    216.00 feet
Number of circles                               3 circles

Number of seats outer circle:              298
Number of seats second circle:            288
Number of seats third circle:               278

Total number of seats:                        864

Diameter of inner circle (free space)    195.00    feet

=======================================

Hopefully Koos can answer you question regarding 8000 seats.

Dear Christine,
thats about 10 000 square meters (only a small part of the world thinks
in feet) and comparing that to the approximately 3000 squaremeters we
had for the event with 2108 in Germany (you will definitely break the
record!!)your space would hold about 5000 people.
Our space was 70 by 40 meters, not exactly square, yours is 150 by
70...very similar in shape...you do have to consider that the inner
circles can be real perfect circles but as you add more circles they
turn more and more into ovals...or you just add half circles at the long
ends of the the room.
For the 2108 people we had 10 or 12 concentric circles (people sitting
on small pillows...the firedepartment would not permit chairs unless
they are bolted to the floor)...that made it real easy to create
breakout spaces throughout the large room (marked by gas filled ballons
that were attached to small bags filled with sand, the balloons bearing
the breakout space number, we had 70 spaces...for the closing circle
participants pitched in creating the circles again...
Seems that for 7,000 people you need a space about 1,5 the size you have
now. Or, calculating for huge crowds, you might think of 1,5 square
meters per person
wish you lots of work, which, if it is really work, is pure fun
Greetings from Berlin
