Terminal 5 Debuts With Superior Sight Lines

Anna Sekula
October 29, 2007
The second of two live performance venues from Bowery Presents to open in as many months is Terminal 5, the multipurpose performance venue that replaced Exit earlier this month. At 40,000 square feet, the trilevel space has the capacity for as many as 3,000 people, and, like the Music Hall of Williamsburg, the site has been upgraded with better lighting and sound equipment and redesigned for optimal sight lines. (Both venues were renovated by the same architect, Brian Swier.) The main floor boasts 40-foot ceilings and a 41- by 30-foot stage, which can be viewed from wraparound balconies on the first and second floors. There are three bars (one for each level) as well as an on-site kitchen.In addition to concerts booked by the concert promotion company, Terminal 5 is also available for events through a partnership with the Fred Seidler Group.
