The Pit, as it was called, was not actually that much lower than the lowest tier of seats. The Globe Theatre, like many theatres of its time, was a circular building with a large unroofed courtyard in the middle. This courtyard, into which the stage projected, was where those who bought one-penny seats stood. These standees, called "groundlings" stood right up to the very edge of the stage.

The audience members who stood at the front of the stage during a performance were often referred to as the "groundlings."

Their proximity to the stage allowed for a more interactive and engaging experience with the performers.
