The BTI Center contains three individual theatre facilities.

Meymandi Concert Hall is primarily intended as a music performance space 
and seats 1700.

Fletcher Opera Theater is geared towards theatre, dance and (duh) opera 
and seats 600.

The Kennedy Theater seats 170.

And don't forget about Raleigh Memorial Auditorium with 2,277 seats.

But none of these are exactly gunning for to play host to rock-n-roll 
events.

For reference: depending on configuration, RBC holds between 10,000 and 
18,500 for concerts.

I suppose the planned Convention Center may end up with some of those 
events.
