Shakespeare's Globe Theatre will sell a maximum of 700 tickets to groundlings. The number of tickets sold is limited, not by space, but by fire regulation. They could pack a lot more into that space, and in Shakespeare's day, when they had no fire regulations, they did.
Many of the richer people who sat up in the galleries attended the Globe Theater in the 1600's but many poorer people attended the plays in the central yard also.
The standees were called groundlings.
only rich people could afford to sit in the galleries (seats), lords would sit in the balconies behind the stage, poor people would stand in the yard and royalists would sit in the royal box.
why was the globe theatre known as the stinkyard
I believe the term you are looking for is "Promenaders" or "Groundlings" The the people who would stand in the gallery floor space in the Albert Hall (London) during 'Prom' performances are called "Promenaders" and the term for the audience standing in the 'Yard' area of Shakespeare's Globe Theater (London) was "Groundlings." They paid one penny to get in and stood on the floor.
I believe we can assume that he meant how many people can stand on a square yard.I am 21" across my chest, and approximately a foot thick. This means that if everyone was the same size you could fit 5 people in a square yard without having to squeeze. If it was a matter of cramming them in then standing you could likely get 6-7 people standing in a square yard.the math:21"x12"=252 sq. in. (me)yard =36"square yard = 36" x 36" = 1296 sq inchesso divide 1296 by 252 (me) and you get 5.1...since there is not a .1 person to be found this means that 5 people can stand on a square yard without cramming in.1296sq.in / 252sq. in. = 5.143 people
