Sitting down plays a large role in everybody’s life, just think about the amount of time you spend sitting down in an average day. In fact some recent estimates suggest that we spend over eight hours of each day sitting down. We sit when we eat, when we drive, when we are at work, when we watch television and the list goes on and on. So with all this time that an average human spends sitting there must be some pretty well known seats out there. Perhaps these seats could include some famous banquette seating which a king or queen dined from or maybe some fworld known booth seating in a fifties style café that James Dean or Marilyn Monroe sat in. These are arguably some very famous seats however it would appear that there are some even more famous seats out their.

The first seat in this list is what is considered to be the most famous seat in cinema. It’s the bench seating from the film Forrest Gump. This famous seat is featured throughout the entire film and is where the kind, simple man tells the story of his life and how he met the love of his life Jenny. This seat isn’t in some film studio in Hollywood it is an actual bench located in Savannah, Georgia USA which thousands of people use everyday. The bench is mentioned in every tour of Savannah and is one of the cities most famous locations.

The next in our list of well known seats is one of the most famous seats in musical history. You may be thinking it is a seat in the Sydney opera house, or perhaps one in Madison square garden, but you would be wrong. The next famous seat in this article is located in Graceland, Memphis Tennessee. That’s right it’s the world famous toilet which Elvis passed away on. Some people would argue that this does not count as a seat but what else do you do on a toilet if you don’t sit?

The final seat in this article is what can be considered the most famous seat in the world. The pope’s chair or “throne” located in St. Peter’s Basilica is where the leader of the Catholic faith performs mass and where he makes some of the most important decisions for Catholicism. Almost a billion people across the globe look to this seat for guidance from the man who sits in it and that is why it can be considered the most famous seat in the world.

So there you have it those are perhaps the three most famous seats in the world from three of the most influential mediums in the world, film, music and religion.

The Merriweather Post Pavilion is an ideal outdoor venue found along Route 29 opposite the Columbia Mall, and occupies an area of about 160,000 square metres. The pavilion was initially supposed to serve as a summerhouse for the National Symphony Orchestra, and acquired its name from the heiress of Post Foods, Merriweather Post. This venue was designed by Frank Gehry, architects, and was officially opened to the public in 1967. Since then the Merriweather Post Pavilion has hosted several concerts from award winning musicians and is always abuzz with activity throughout the year. This outdoor amphitheatre, halfway between Washington and Baltimore, can be accessed via Columbia taxi service.

The pavilion can accommodate a total of 19,316 people with a covered seating area of about 5,200 and over 10,000 lawn seats. The amphitheatre hosts a wide range of performances and exhibitions throughout the year, and during the summer it attracts many tourists from the neighbouring towns of Annapolis, Washington, Catonsville, Towson and even Harrisburg. For almost half a century it has showcased performances from a wide range of artists and bands including some of the big names in the music industry such as Roger Daltrey, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and many others.

With its high seating capacity, the pavilion is a great venue for hosting large-scale events. Ticket pricing is also economical since you are given an option to either purchase a seating ticket in the covered area, lawn area, or standing area. The covered area tickets are the most expensive, followed by the standing area tickets, while the lawn area tickets are the least expensive. All these seating areas have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. For instance, the lawn area tickets may be cheap, but, in the event of poor weather conditions, you will have a difficult time and might not even see anything. The covered area is the most comfortable place to be, but for easy visibility book seats near the stage. The standing area is perfect for those who prefer to get up close and personal.

The amphitheatre is also equipped with state of the art facilities that make use of modern technology. All these facilities, i.e. the three wide video screens and an elaborate lighting scheme are specifically designed to enhance concerts and performances. Patrons relax on the lawn area in between shows and have an opportunity to order from a diverse menu that includes gyros, burritos, and veggie wraps. In addition to these, there are also several other food and alcohol stands each offering different types of food and drink. Although the cost of food and drink is a little high, this is to be expected of such a venue.

If you are new in Columbia and wish to find your way to the Merriweather Post Pavilion quickly, then it is recommended that you use a reliable Columbia taxi service. This is because these Columbia taxi service cabs drivers know the place nicely and will drop you off at a secure parking lot within the pavilion. You won’t have the tension of finding out where to go.
