The circular center drape was actually a 20-foot-tall chain curtain hung from a round center truss to highlight the rotating center bar and lounge, which was the focal point of the room. The same chain curtain appeared in 25-foot-tall sections in the corners of the room (pictured), projecting larger-than-llife images of iconic athletes in memorable moments with corresponding quotes from the past year.

The strong room design echoed in 15/40's stage design with 80 feet of scaffolding supporting another 30 feet of chain curtain and a 24-foot projection screen acting as a stage backdrop to the trilevel stage, highlighting performances by DJ Cool V, Biz Markie, and headliner Snoop Lion.
