You, sir are correct! George Preston Marshall was friends with Conrad Hilton.
When Hilton built his new hotel in Washington, he had the ballroom, which was going to be the largest in the city, made in the shape of a football, so Marshall would move his annual Grid Iron dinner from the Shorham.

No, but it is a very good theatrical space.

Food's really good when I've gotten fed. You did a great job of describing the ballroom, however, you didn't answer the question.
Think of it from a top-down pov, as if you're looking at a set of blueprints.
The acoustics in this room are funky. The curved ceilings and walls give you a whisper room effect, so the back of house has to be careful, or their conversations will be overheard by people sitting in front of them. It also makes it a challenge for the audio lead, as the stage has very good acoustics, so it's easy to have the mics get overwhelmed.

It’s one of the most famous ballrooms in the World. It hosts the annual White House Correspondents dinner, among many other high profile events.

Lol. Did you work at PSAV?
I like that I’m one of the guys they always breath a sigh of relief when they see. Definitely makes me feel valued, which is a huge change from the corporate sales world.

I’m not in sales, I’m a freelancer. It’s dead now, but last fall was nuts!

Mine. I went from high end telecom sales to AV, and I’m very happy. I make a good living, have the respect of my peers and enjoy what I do. In sales I made more money, but the cut throat nature of the business and the quotas weighing over your head just sucked.
