Travel to Mississippi Coliseum

What fits in this room
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Mississippi Coliseum is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
