Building the platform - thoughts on how?


Making progress on the HT dedicated room. All framed in and soffit is built. It's time to build the elevated platform for the rear (3 wide x 2 deep) seating. Anyone have any experience with this?
1) Build it directly on concrete floor using a ledger board along back and side walls to nail to?
2) Build it suspended from concrete floor using joist hangers?
3) Build it resting on some sort of rubber or vibration damping material?

What is the best method AND size of this thing . . . thinking of building it around 7.5' from back wall, thus leaving the front row seat backs at 12' from the screen and the viewers eyeballs about 10'

FYI - plans are 106" Screen (was informed that the 110" might be too big)
Room is 19' 3" deep by 15' wide
Projector will be Panasonic 1080P

2 Pics attached:
First is room layout
Second is looking into rear of room through an unframed service entrance (will rarely use this door)
Thanks for any ideas
Tim
