The 500 sq. ft. maximum applies to the gross floor area, including exterior floor space, of all press boxes serving a playing field, stadium, or other assembly area.  If a site has multiple assembly areas with press boxes, the aggregate area of press boxes is to be calculated separately for each assembly area.
