In a press release, the Carolina Theatre acknowledged that surveys from customers often commented on the (aging) seats.<\/span><\/p>\n The theater says the new seats are modern and comfortable while retaining the historic look and feel of the theater, which opened in 1926.<\/span><\/p>\n One big upgrade: cupholders. The theater said audiences had long groused about the lack of cupholders.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the new seats, three rows of seats in the lower section of Balcony One have been replaced with 27 Grand Suites.
