Some very interesting stats on the LDS conference center. It seats 21,200 making it the largest building of its kind in the world. Theater style seating, with completely unobstructed views. It has a 3 acre green roof of local grasses and trees. The granite cladding was quarried in Cottonwood Canyon, where Brigham Young oversaw the original quarrying of granite for the Salt Lake City Temple in the 1890's.
