For venues that host a variety of entertainment and sports events, seating needs to be able to expand to accommodate larger audiences and varying event types. With telescopic seating solutions, venues can easily retract or extend their seats to optimize space and maximize sightlines. This is especially important for venues that have limited square footage, such as the recently opened Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Discover how Irwin telescopic seating was integrated into the design of this arena, helping it scale from 9,000 seats for rodeo events to 14,000 seats for basketball games and beyond.
Many people have the preconception that retractable bleachers mean tiered seating, but new innovations in seating engineering and design are redefining this perception. The latest telescopic stands offer a modular component that allows you to tailor your stand configurations by only extending the number of rows required for each event.
Maximizing Space with Telescopic Seating Solutions
These designs also offer a range of other benefits including multi-directional movement (forwards and backward), pivotal, 360° rotation and partial retraction. The result is a stow system that is quick to deploy and easy to operate for maximum versatility.
This type of telescopic bleachers is perfect for schools looking to enhance value, flexibility and optimal integration in their indoor gym spaces. These bleachers can be retracted and then stored within a wall pocket to save floor space when not in use. In addition, these systems come with options for color customization and patterns to add additional school spirit and help exude a sense of pride in your students’ facilities.
