The main parts of the complex comprise a 210,000-square-foot food and retail space, which includes the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema movie theater and bowling alley, and the Pavilion, an indoor 4,000-seat music theatre that has a wall that can retract to open onto the 65,000-square-foot lawn to add an additional 4,000 seats.
