Choosing Terraced Seating For Your Football Stadium

Terraced seating is a classic feature of football stadiums, offering spectators a more casual environment from which to watch the action. Terraces are usually located behind the two goals and traditionally offer a cheaper alternative to seats in the main stands. They have historically been the areas where the most boisterous and fervent supporters sit, giving them an unrivalled atmosphere that has helped cement football’s reputation as one of the most fan-friendly sports in the world. Since the Hillsborough disaster and the Taylor Report, however, terraces have been largely replaced by seats in English stadia, although there are now calls for modern safe standing terraces to be reintroduced.

The Charm of Terraced Seating: Creating Unique Spaces

When choosing terrace furniture, it’s essential to consider the purpose of the space – is it a place to relax and catch up with friends? Or does a dining area or reading setup have more appeal? Whatever you’re aiming to achieve, make sure your furniture is code compliant and well designed.

Using a variety of benches along your terrace can help create a focal point or an enticing vista. To maximize the impact of your seating, choose seats and tables in light colours that go well with the natural environment – white, sandy, or olive tones work especially well for beachy terraces. Similarly, for coastal terraces with unstable ground like sand or stone, it’s important to select chairs and parasols that are stable on the terrain. Our EOLO and MONACO ranges are ideal for this, with their bases made of materials that work particularly well on these types of surfaces.
