*It is conceded generally that distance between the spectators and the play is the first consideration in de-
termining the class and lighting requirements. However, the potential seating capacity of the stands should
also be considered and the following ratio is suggested: Class I for over 30,000 Spectators; Class II for 10,000 to
30,000; Class III for 5,000 to 10,000; and Class IV for under 5,000 spectators.
