I’m starting to think with Apples size, the theater may be way too small, I mean if you dropping 3 billion on a new campus, and a cool underground theater, you certainly don’t want to undersize it. You have the land, you certainly have the cash, so what’s an extra 50 million to build a 3000 seat theater?
Got a tip for us?

The last two iPhone introductions were held in the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in a configuration holding about 3000 people. The one before that in the Flint Center for Performing Arts, holding about 2400 people. The Steve Jobs Theatre holds about 1000 people.
In 2011, when the design of Apple Park (incl. Steve Jobs Theatre) was revealed, Apple held the iPhone 4s event in its Infinite Loop Town Hall, holding about 300 people (the 5s was also revealed there, the 5 in the 750-seat Yerba Buena Center for the Arts). It's quite possible that Apple thought back then that a 1000 people auditorium would be enough for its press events (outside of WWDC).
I think Apple would like to hold the iPhone event in the Steve Jobs theatre. But they also would like to invite more than 1000 people. In the end, they have to decide what is more important to them.

See above, in 2011 when the plans were filed with the city, Apple's iPhone event was held in their 300-seat Town Hall. It's possible that back then, they thought 1000 is plenty. It is also possible that they plan to have many internal events to which 1000 is a much better fit than a 3000 seat theatre.

Is that 464 m the inner or the outer diameter? I'd guess it is the outer one, if yes, do you also know the inner one?
EDIT:
From the drawing at Wikipedia, I get a value of 358 m, which would translate into an area for the inner courtyard of only 25 acres (not the listed 30 acres).

Are you saying that humans constructed the moon?

Looks to be around 360m when measured on Google Maps.
All looks amazing, and love the trees (grass to follow I guess)
But just 1 thing JARRED with me, which was, most of the tree's look nice and naturally arranged, which is lovely, but inside the ring, just one large area of trees and all perfectly lined up, like a row of soldiers. Looked just too man made, and not as natural as the rest of them.
Wonder whey they did that.

I want the cheapest option. Of course, my plan was to leave early from my planned location (about 6 am), then arrive maybe by 10, 11 am max. Spend a couple hours then head back.
But... if a loophole exists that allows them to do it, they will. That's business. That loophole needs to be closed.
I wonder who designed these outdoor lights?
First thing that comes to mind. Anyone remember these?
These suckers should've paid attention to MR when it was forewarned that it would be like living next to a prison. Should've cashed out at the peak when they had the opportunity.
