Grandstand and Stadium Terracing and Hospitality Boxes

Terrace Variations

Standing/Seated and Dual Use

A standing terrace incorporates crush barriers and exit gangways. These are built into the REIDsteel stand so as to waste no standing spaces. If made in REIDsteel Terraces then they can be dismountable and relocatable. Such terraces can be open or covered.

Standing Terrace Grandstand with crush barriers

A REIDsteel standing terrace is dual use. Because of its unique design, it can be changed to all seater simply by removing the crush barriers. Most grandstands are designed all seater from the start.

REIDsteel all steel terraces can be used with or without seating

 

Simple Terrace

A simple terrace goes all the way from the toe, at-or below ground level, to the back of the grandstand.

This is the most economic sort of stand to make, to run, and to maintain. Have a good reason to diverge from this style.

The slope of the simple terrace probably varies paraboliclly to maintain viewing standards throughout.

Multi Tier with overhangs

If space and styling requirements dictate, a 2 tier or multi tier stand can be designed. The gain in the number of seats is actually quite small, but the increase in height, cost and running cost is greater.

 

Multi tier stands provide more seats, but at a cost

Multi Tier with Mid Terrace Box

REIDsteel can design and build you hospitality suites and boxes. A good reason to select multi tier grandstands is to incorporate mid-terrace hospitality boxes and suites, when there is a market for them.

Multi Tier with Mid Terrace Box and Rear Box zone

Some multi tier stands can incorporate REIDsteel mid terrace hospitality suites as well as the rear box level.

Wedge Infill

Corners of ball games grandstands can be filled in with a triangle, or segments, or even a ¼ circle, with seating terraces. But remember such seats cost 2 or 3 times as much as the straight runs, and are the least popular seats. Do you really want to pay 3 times as much for seats no-one wants? It is much better to make another couple of rows on the other stands.

In cricket or athletics, the angle between stands is 45° or even 36°, so the wedge is different. In temperate climates it can be in filled with seats. In hot tropical climates, it is best left open, or fitted with balconies and verandas.

Staium corner infilled with terracing

Suitable verandas and balconies, with large hospitality and office areas behind, can easily be built in the wedges between two simple grand stands.

Verandas in the corners of the stadiums

Rather than waste money on expensive but unwanted infill seats in the corners, why not build highly desirable vertical grandstands, with restaurants, ball rooms, balconies, boxes all with a good view over the park?

Exclusive restaurants, hospitality etc. in the corners overlooking the stadium

Mid Terrace Veranda

A veranda can be set into a terrace, providing excellent mid terrace access from the executive suites, ideal for a popular chairman and his VIP guests who want full participation with the fans. See the Notts County Derek Pavis Stand.

Disabled Spectators

REIDsteel can build in the disabled zones, either at the toe or in mid terrace - or anywhere. In mid terrace, anywhere above ground level, REIDsteel can help design safe and cost effective access and exits for disabled fans.
