Take your Seats
American Seating participates on a seating focused article from industry experts on seating solutions for stadiums & arenas that are primarily focused on flexibility and premium upgrades.
Stadiums and arenas around the world are more focused on seating than ever before. With the continuing trend to multi-purpose facilities, which must easily shift from a sports to an entertainment set-up, flexible seating solutions are now built-in to plans for new venues, and increasingly sought for renovations to older buildings.
On another level, with the global economic down-turn affecting attendance at many sports and entertainment events, upgraded seating for more premium areas is high on the demand list for older stadiums and arenas, particularly in the campus market.
A good cross-section of many of the leading suppliers of seating in North America, Europe and Australia offer some targeted insight on the marketplace. Included from North America are American Seating, Clarin Seating, Irwin Seating, Seating Solutions, Spec Seats, Staging Concepts and Track Seating. From Europe and Australia we have comment from Audience Systems, Daplast and Arena Seating/Product People.
