It needs to be moved IMO.

This should be about building marquees like the type you see at movie theaters. --69.14.48.173 10:25, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

This article is about the aspect of a marquee which is not unlike a beer tent. The content of this article has the rowdy tone suggested by the term beer tent, and probably should be merged there. Something of the tent though, the temporary party or reception facility needs to be kept-- but we need to add a passage on the other more permanent structure, the marquee before so many hotels, theatres, and cinemas.Davidrowe 00:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Oh and as the beer tent article states:

"A beer tent is a frequently used name for a large marquee on a people celebration"

a beer tent then, is a name for a marquee- a subcategory of marquee, not the opposite. So if this is merged, we still should have an article here.Davidrowe 00:50, 11 September 2005 (UTC)


A marquee can also be a large-free-standing tent, indeed not unlike a beer tent but also not necessarily a beer tent, maybe not unlike a circus big top. jon-starbuck 15:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)Jonstarbuck
