How To Create Comfortable, Functional Spectator Spots

The art of creating functional, crowd-drawing spectator spots is about crafting an experience fans want to be a part of. From providing relief from the sun to ensuring everyone has a clear view of the action, every detail counts. Whether they’re devoted sports fans or brand new to the sidelines – happy fans are loyal fans.

Shade is key

Attracting a loyal crowd can come down to something as simple as access to shade. More than just a cool place to escape the sun, shade creates an atmosphere that lets sports fans know you care about their comfort. Nobody wants to roast in the stands or squint at the action – they want to enjoy the game.

Strategic shading from a well-placed awning, row of trees, or stylish shelter turns a hot, uncomfortable space into game day goodness. These comfy, shaded spots encourage people to stick around longer, buy a drink or snack, and bring friends along next time. In short: shade = satisfaction, and satisfied fans keep coming back.

Access for all

Accessibility is a game changer. A venue that’s easy to get to and navigate regardless of mobility or other needs, is easy for everyone to enjoy. Ramps, wide aisles, wheelchair and stroller-friendly seating, and parking options are a great start. When fans don’t need to worry about logistics, they’re free to focus on the score. Making sure everyone feels welcome and can easily get to the action shows that your club values all patrons:  win-win.

Talk to us today about how we can make your seating spaces accessible for all.

Views for days

Sightlines matter – no one wants to be stuck behind a pole or a row of rival fans’ hats. A smart layout ensures every spectator, from the back row to the VIP seats, has a clear view of the action. It’s not just about seeing the game, it’s about feeling connected. Whether it’s your team’s home game or your first visit to a venue, a perfect view keeps fans engaged and ready to stick around. If you can’t see the game, you might as well be watching from the couch.
