FEATURES
The Singer Bowl, an open air stadium, lighted for night use, has a seating capacity of 15,000 bleacher type seats surrounding an open, green macadam play area approximately 110 feet by 270 feet. There is a moveable arena stage 35 feet by 60 feet, arranged so that it can be used either in the center of the arena or along one side. Three thousand (3,000) additional seats can be arranged on the play area if required.
The arena is equipped for two mobile TV pick ups which are limited to daytime use since no special TV lighting has been provided. Dressing rooms are available for 200 people. The Singer Bowl is the scene of many attractive athletic and outdoor events and meetings of large groups.
Facilities for smaller groups are available in the Pavilion. The Singer Bowl Exhibit Area houses a dramatic display by the Singer Company of new developments in personalized fashion and modern homemaking.
