The Leisure Bleacher

Nick Lyon, Darian Riley, Ben Summers, and Jason Thompson

Fans at Grand Park need to be able to focus on the game around them, and the lack of amenities makes it difficult to do that. When fans come to watch their teams play, they don't want to have to be focused on lugging heavy seating across campus, finding a place to set up, and then having their expensive equipment strewn about haphazardly. During our research, we found that they want to come to the game, relax, and have the benefits that can come from having these things taken care of before they even step foot on the Grand Park campus. As you can see, having the distractions of no seating and being out in the elements can prevent fans from fully enjoying their Grand Park experience. We set out to solve this problem by asking how might we create a comfortable viewing experience for fans so they can focus on enjoying the game? We think that our Leisure Bleacher is a compact, portable, VIP seating and storage solution for teams looking to keep their focus on the game and not their seats. Groups can easily rent these cabana-esque, portable bleachers that are then easily installed at the team's field. The bleachers come with heated seats, wind breaking snap-on sides, full shade coverage, private hotspot, and underneath equipment storage for a VIP experience that only a truly Grand Park can deliver.
