Retractable, or recessed bleachers, are one of the most traditional systems of seating for basketball arenas and school gymnasiums. This system utilizes a tiered seating structure and a pocket in the wall that houses the bleacher when closed. The bleacher is hidden away from sight, generally under a balcony or mezzanine when the seating area is needed for other purposes. Each platform conveniently stores under the one above it to create minimal storage area.

Only minimal clearance is required for the bleachers to fit comfortably under the balcony overhang. When bleachers are stacked, floor space is utilized to maximum capacity. This system is available with 24 rows. Upper and lower tracking guides and removable end rails can accommodate custom transition steps to the balcony when needed. Here are some additional advantages the recessed seating system can provide for your sports facility:

Optimum use of facility space
Savings on land and building cost
Increased revenue potential
Fast and resourceful seating arrangements
Comfort and optimum viewing for patrons
