Ruth Eckerd Hall has a great little auditorium that seats, from what I recall, about 2200. There is only one level of steeply sloped, stadium style seats and there are no seating balconies.

Sights and Sounds
Although I don’t talk about it often, I’m one of those people whose really cool with my learning difference.

Manical Rasslin’ in O-Town: The Citrus Bowl Sucks
