Mormon Tabernacle Seating Capacity Questioned
A Salt Lake Tribune inquiry cites a 1900s investigation claiming the Tabernacle seats about 6,000, far below the commonly stated 19,500. An 1890s Grand Trunk Railway party and a May concert diagram suggested the space under the big stage reduces usable seats to about six thousand, with readers urged to study the diagram for confirmation.
