So It's Back To First Principles (Part 2)

There seems to be some misunderstanding on your side. The mention of 40 inches was simply a careless mistake on my part, as I already noted in my previous post. The value I have consistently defended is a podium height of 45 inches (3.75 feet).

For example, please refer to this post:

@roger-knight

So, the correct height once and for all is 3.75 feet.

In any case, the updated values in my post, including all the heights, are now up to date.

I’ve been looking at dimensions in general. Lets start with the north and south 10 row bleachers:

Rent Towable Bleachers | 10-Row | Seats 273 | 45' Long | Delivery

These are described in the search results as “Speedy” bleachers.

Next - counting stars on the south bleachers:
It looks like there may be 46 stars along the back row, which could be accounted for by the 45’ being the “seat length” measurement.

You can also see from this that there are 16 stars on the stage. The ends of the front shield are bent in a bit, but only a bit, and there are several inches of stage beyond each end of the shield in front.

You can see from this that if the star-to-star distance is 1 foot (12 inches), then the vertical height of two white stripes and one blue stripe is 2 feet (24 inches). The height of the cover is 30 inches since there are 3 inches of red stripe at the top and bottom:

The 16 stars make one think the width of the stage is somewhere around 16 feet.

This is an almost straight overhead view:

If I figure the width of each of the bleachers at the seats is 45 feet, both the width and the depth of the stage is just under 16 feet (15.9 feet, within the margin for error of 16 feet).

Last, but not least, here is a still from Corey Comperatore’s video:

Within the margin for error, the height of the stage is twice that of the height of two white stripes and one blue stripe (24 inches times 2 = 48 inches).

Again within the margin for error, the height of the stage times four is the depth of the stage.

I conclude the stage is 16 feet by 16 feet, and exactly 4 feet high, although if the ground is not exactly level, the height might vary from side to side.
