6x16, AFAIK - both plates with studs all over, and plates with studs only on the
perimeter of 3 sides.

Unless the grandstands are REALLY heavy, you can just surround the top of the
locker room with 2x16 plates on  2 sides and misc plates on the other 2, and
have the grandstand plates sit on one row of studs all the way around.  I built
a HUGE warehouse using baseplates for the roof, they sit on a 1 stud perimeter.
If the grandstands are heavy, just run some 1x16 bricks across the plate
perimeter as "girders", that will hold a TON of weight.

can't be used as the ceiling/floor between the training room and the stands,
since the bottom of the baseplates can't be connected to anything.  I looked
for the biggest plates I had to replace them, but I don't have many N x 16
plates.  I was wondering what the biggest plate LEGO made that was 16 studs
on at least one side?

Either that, or if anyone has any better ideas I'd be happy to hear them.

(...) There have been 6x24 plates, and 6x28 train bases (train base = two plates high, not very connectable on the underside). Just FYI. Steve (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
