Benefits of Sports Field Stands

There are several key benefits of sports stands. The following are some examples of the benefits that can be enjoyed together.

Seating for the Spectators

Usually in the grandstand area, there are grandstand seats that can be used to watch sports matches. This place is one of the safest parts for the audience to enjoy various sports spectacles. Currently, almost all GORs or sports centers have stands with comfortable chairs.

Access and Visibility

In addition, stands are usually designed to ensure that spectators have a good view of the field. Regardless of the sport, the stands should be able to accommodate the audience so that they can watch the game clearly. For some sports and sports halls, there are even VIP field stands that have high comfort and visibility of the sports entertainment being held.

Comfort and Safety

We have already discussed a little that basically all parts of the stands are made for the safety and comfort of the audience. But some stadiums, sports halls, and other sports venues certainly have different standards, depending on the type of sport, and the place. Some stands are made for regular, VIP, and so on.

Provide Additional Facilities

The grandstand area sometimes also has some additional facilities such as toilets, health facilities, access to evacuation routes, and other facilities.

Enhancing the Experience of Sports Game Spectators

The stands are made to provide a comfortable and safe atmosphere so that the audience themselves will be satisfied with the sports match that takes place. In addition, information on the layout of the stands is also usually easy to understand so that we can freely choose which place can be used to watch.

Factors Considered in the Construction of Field Stands

Professionally there are several types of designs. Usually the design of this stand is designed according to the purpose of its manufacture.

Tribune Design to Meet Capacity

Planning the stands actually includes estimating how much capacity can be accommodated in it. This calculation will certainly make the stands safer, more comfortable, and function optimally. This calculation can also be seen from the following aspects:

Land size: Ensuring the size of the stands is in line with the area of the field and the expected number of spectators.

• Type of Field and Sport: Pay attention to the type of sport and field. For example, a soccer field will usually be bigger than a badminton field.
• Estimated Number of Spectators: Work with the community to see data on the estimated number of visitors that can be used as a benchmark for the most optimal visitor capacity.
• Comply with All Regulations: Pay attention to the safety standards set by the local government.

It's also worth noting the maximum capacity scenario for big matches. This can determine the safety and comfort for the audience.

Materials and Construction

A quality field tribune is certainly formed from construction materials that also have the best quality. Well, for an example of stadium standards and stands from FIFA can be seen in the following aspects:

• Fire Retardant: Serves to prevent the spread of fire if there is an emergency.
• Anti-corrosion: To avoid rust on certain materials. Mandatory for stadiums or stands that are in an environment that is easily exposed to corrosion such as the beach or sea.
• Modular Construction: Modular construction makes it easier for us to do maintenance or if we want to do an overhaul.
• Experienced Field and Sports Contractors: Be sure to choose an experienced sports contractor like Datra Internusa to ensure the construction goes well.

Comfort from Visitors or Spectators

As an audience, of course comfort is the most important requirement. Of course we are obliged to provide this comfort with the following steps:

• Provide ergonomic design: Seats that support the body's posture to prevent fatigue.
• Good Air Circulation: Ensure that the air ventilation for indoor stands runs well.
• Availability of Supporting Facilities: Provide various types of facilities such as toilets, food and beverage areas.
• Well-Sized Seats: Usually the standard seats for the stands are 45 to 50 cm wide.
• Strength and Durability: Seats should be able to withstand loads of up to 150 kg. It also helps that they have a high level of durability.

Safety Aspects of the Tribune

Talking about public facilities certainly cannot be separated from security. There are several things that support the safety of a tribune as below:

• Evacuation Routes: Usually has a path design to save themselves and is able to suffice the course of the audience.
• Fences and Safeguards: Usually used to prevent spectators from entering the field. Fences and security also serve to prevent spectators from falling.
• Safety Standard Certification: It would be best if the stands have safety certifications from both local and international bodies.
• CCTV System: For standards from FIFA there are additional technology systems such as CCTV for monitoring and avoiding unwanted things.
• Staff Training: Training and standard operating procedures for staff on the field are mandatory. This includes handling emergencies such as evacuations.

Supports Visibility

Of course, visibility is one of the important factors in the construction of a grandstand. Ensure the following in the construction of field stands:

Ideal slope: Seats can clearly provide a view of the field.

Adequate and proper lighting: Make sure to avoid light interference and maximize the light within the field.

Emergency Lighting: Some venues and grandstand areas should have emergency lighting for a 2-hour power outage.

Obstruction Free: Obstruction-free grandstand design is one of the things that should be considered as it can improve visibility.

Air Circulation: Ventilation in indoor stands should be designed with air conditioning to keep the temperature and air circulation comfortable.

Facilities that Support Disabled Access

Good field stands should be designed to be friendly to all spectators, including those with disabilities. Accessibility that needs to be considered is as follows:

• Special seats for the disabled: Areas that are easily accessible to anyone.
• Ramp or elevator: Especially for multi-storey stands, special access is provided for the disabled.
  Aisles that have enough space: Can be used for wheelchair access and other visitors at the same time.
• Adequate Accessibility: Entrance routes for people with disabilities with seating areas, accessible parking.

Stands with Media Facilities

Some field stands can also be a media facility for advertising, branding, and so on. It's good to make the stands pay attention to things like:

• Color and Logo: With distinctive visual elements.
• Advertising Area: Utilize several places for advertising promotion media.
• Technology Support: Equip with LEDs to display various types of information. It can also be used to display advertisements.
