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.

(...) There have been 6x24 plates, and 6x28 train bases (train base = two plates high, not very connectable on the underside). Just FYI. Steve (25 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)
