The Evolution of the Football Stadium The popularity of organised sports in late Victorian times prompted the building of some of the first stadiums in the UK. A far cry from the modern facilities of today, early stadiums were designed to fit in as many spectators as possible and were all standing room only. In 1892, Everton’s Goodison Park was one of the first purpose built football stadiums in the world, whilst in 1910 Old Trafford in Manchester was the first UK stadium to feature continuous seating. In 1965 Manchester United was also the first UK club to introduce bespoke executive boxes. Over the years more football clubs started to introduce seated stands and in more recent times as clubs started to convert to all seater stadiums, so the standard and quality of stadium seating began to improve. Whilst plastic seats are still the norm for the majority of spectator stands, the seats in Directors’ boxes, VIP and executive areas have been vastly upgraded. Executive Stadium Seating in the 21st Century Executive seating is now fully upholstered and deeply cushioned, offering high levels of comfort to VIP spectators. Wide seats and high backs enhance the luxury whilst button controlled heated seats and backs help warm up cold match days. Club’s often have their crest or badge embroidered onto seat backs as this enhances the premium look of the seating and acts as an extension of the club’s branding. Seats can be further personalised with job titles, names, or sponsors’ branding or messages. Specifying Luxury Stadium Seating When specifying this type of seating it’s important to ensure it will be upholstered in a UV resistant vinyl which is fire retardant and treated with anti-fungicide – this will help ensure it remains looking clean and stylish throughout every season. Below are some of the basic features of modern, luxury stadium seating as a starting point for specifiers.
