The practical design and flexibility of the telescopic bleacher system has been used by spectators and fans for more than 70 years. Telescopic bleachers are still a very popular choice in many arenas today.  Each telescopic bleacher project is custom made and adapted to the dimensions available in your indoor facility.

Mainly used in indoor facilities to increase seating capacity, the mobile telescopic seating product adds a series of bleacher modules that can be folded to occupy very little space when not being used.

The mobile bleacher system is one of the most flexible seating systems available to schools and sporting facilities and is commonly used to accommodate a variety of needs.

Mobile bleacher systems can be used in one part of the building and then transported and stored in a different part of the building. This style of seating can run up to 21" wide with seating capabilities of 14 rows at a 10 1/4 inch rise or 12 rows with an 11 1/2 inch rise. These independent, self-supporting units do not require anchorage to the wall or floor. Used commonly in gymnasiums, music rooms, cafeterias and class rooms, these bleachers provide easy manual operation.

A portable hydraulic dolly is required and generally provided to transport units to and from spectator and storage areas and a pair of hydraulic trucks are required to move the mobile units.

Back handles and back rails are required by code and for safety purposes. With a standard height of 8" the back panel provides a flat wall type surface to discourage access to the understructure of the bleachers. All of these features make the mobile telescopic bleacher a very flexible and independent choice in seating.

When your facility demands a quick transformation from a wide open space to a fully functioning spectator arena, consider the benefits of the mobile telescopic bleacher system.

Hosting a sporting event is like planning a party. You have to know how many people may come, if you are going to have enough seats for them all, and the most practical way to accommodate them all. Designing a facility and selecting your bleacher seating involves all of those decisions, but once the decision is made it is more permanent. Because your bleachers may last up to 30 years, there are some other important factors to take into consideration before making that final choice.

During its lifetime, bleachers will be used by thousands of fans and spectators, so it is critical to become familiar with the local and national safety-related guidelines and codes. Before the purchase, smart owners will also weigh the importance of capacity needs, the permanence of seating areas, and the type of audience that will be served. Target demographics should be highly evaluated when purchasing new seats.

If your school needs seating for occasional events and cannot leave rows of stadium seats in place permanently because of space restrictions, you may consider smaller bleachers and telescoping seats that can be wheeled out quickly and pushed back out of the way. Sporting clubs that cater to younger audiences may be able to get away with basic bleachers without wide aisles and seat backs.

Typical bleacher sectionsconsist of 2 to 15 rows with row lengths ranging from 7.5-30 feet for small popular models. Planks can be spliced together to form longer systems in most any length extending the seating capacity to 10-10,000 people. These "tiered" or "stepped" surfaces are available in a variety of configurations. Toadvine Enterprises offers a variety of seating selections to best meet the needs of your organization. Here are some of the options we provide:

• Football and Baseball Bleachers
• Basketball Bleachers
• Soccer Bleachers
• Portable Bleachers
• Stadium Bleachers
• Aluminum Bleachers
• Gym Bleachers
• Wooden Bleachers
• High School Bleachers

Loge boxes are areas of private seating that typically have an open space for mobile seating like folding chairs, but are bordered by railing. They give the spectator a more flexible viewing experience along with a little more privacy during the event. They also have the conveniences of drink rails, defined private spaces, and can be customized to your objectives. If you are a high school or collegiate sports program, you may wonder why you need something like this. Here are just a few examples of why loge boxes can really help your program.

A Way To Honor Special Guests
If you have faculty that you want to honor during events or during athletic matches, a loge box makes great sense for you. A loge box can be used at every event as a way to honor teachers, donors, sponsors, faculty, visiting governing officials, returning alumni, and others.

Create Option Between Luxury Suites and Club Seating
If you have luxury suites you can use loge boxes as the middle option and as a way to increase your revenue. If there are people reserving the luxury suites there will be a portion of spectators who would find loge boxes to be the price point that they are comfortable with and would be excited to reserve their own box for the season. If a business reserves the box you can suggest ad placement there in addition to or included in the price.

If Luxury Suites Are Too Nice
If your program is not at the point of having spectators open to the amenities of a luxury suite, loge boxes can become your high end offering to sponsors and spectators willing to spend a little more on their sports experience. Loge boxes do not have to be much different than the standard club seating. They can be different enough to fill them, but not too different that they don't fit into the environment of your overall facility.

Contact Toadvine Enterprises today with your questions and let us walk you through the benefits of loge boxes for your program. We look forward to your call.
