10, 20, 30, More...What percent of your football stadium's seats are chairbacks?

Including premium seating...

1. 10 percent

2. 20 percent

3. 30 percent

4. More

LSU: More. Over 30 percent easily. In fact, just over 34% of Tiger Stadium's projected 2014 capacity will be chairbacked seating of all types.

All the gold or purple colored seats in the following pics are chairbacks. Bleachers are plain aluminum.


I'm certain Tiger Stadium has by far the largest percentage of chairbacks. Just curious as to which stadium has the next highest percentage. My guess would be Arkansas' Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

I bet you can't do that at your stadium.

I assume you are talking about permanent chairs and not those awful things they bolt to the bleachers.

I have never understood why you want a chair back. Have always wanting to stand the entire game on the bleachers. Get the place rockin'.

You watch something like baseball laid back in a chair back on a gloriously hot summer afternoon.

Well, not on a grass hill, but you could lay down if you got one of these...

Will this suffice? Plop a tv up there and it's basically the same. You can see/hear the stadium in the background too

The best thing about chair backs is they keep super huge fatasses from taking over your seat.

I've been to games where 4-5 super huge fatties sitting in a row were taking up like 8 seats between them, good luck if yours is in the middle.

I'm guessing you've never sat in the old fart section of Sanford? People will bitch at you all game if you stand.

We have chairbacks in the reserved/greek student section & stand the whole game. You just stand on the seat

Speaking to the choir my friend

Last year a bigger guy missed his seat right after we scored that last minute touchdown against Arkansas & 2-3 rows below him experienced the domino effect

The bad part is old arse ladies think they are acceptable in a student section and take up my standing room during the Iron Bowl.

The entire West Upper has chairbacks and part of the West lower. Plus all of the skyboxes.
