I am floored by the convos that have stirred here. Guys, thank you for all the tips and thought processes you guys have brought to the table. I honestly paused on this file as I had other projects that needed attention. I have attached the VW file I am using. The seats are currently (according to the measurements from the architect, are fairly accurate in terms of height/slope.
Here is a google photo link that has a panoramic image of the room.

Hopefully that link gives you peeps who have been following this thread a bit more of a sense of what kind of slope I am working with.
If you open the VW file, there are 2 design layers called floor 1 and floor 2, as I played with different ways of attempting to make the floor, mentally it was just easier to separate each concept/idea on a layer basis.
For those asking, I am using Spotlight.
