Past to Present: Stadium Seating Conversions

The basic concept of “stadium seating” dates back thousands of years ago. In a nutshell, it is a type of seating arrangement that is found in performing-arts or entertainment and sports venues. Seats are built and constructed, typically in rows with each row higher than the one in front of it, making it ideal for viewing the spectacle (aka – performance, game or event) with less obstruction and some more leg room. While the concept of a stadium seating arrangement remains the same throughout time, the way architects and construction workers have gone about stadium seating conversions has evolved. Here’s a look into how stadium seating has been built from past to present. Stadium Seating Conversion in the Past One of the oldest known examples of stadium seating dates back to 80 AD with the Colosseum at Piazza del Colosseo […]

Stadium Seating Enterprises to work on local Cinepolis project in San Diego!

SSE is very excited to announce our participation on a local project for a great client. Cinepolis Theaters USA is currently under construction in La Costa, CA for a NEW theater project. The project is moving right along and to add to the excitement, not only is SSE going to be providing our PREFoam Stadium Riser system at this location, but also @foxblocks will be responsible for the wall structure using ICF (insulated concrete forms) instead of Tilt Up or other methods of construction.

Star Wars or Avatar? The next 8 years will give moviegoers a choice. Which side will you choose?

Well, its official. Moviegoers will have to wait a little longer to return to Pandora… As quoted in a recent variety article: James Cameron’s long-awaited and oft-delayed follow-up to “Avatar” has been pushed back another year. “Avatar 2” will hit theaters on Dec. 17, 2021 instead of Dec. 18, 2020 as originally planned. Its move means that “Avatar 3” will open on Dec. 22, 2023 as opposed to Dec. 17, 2021 while “Avatar 4” will bow on Dec. 19, 2025 instead of Dec. 20, 2024 and “Avatar 5” will launch Dec. 17, 2027. The news comes as part of a larger shift in release dates unveiled by Walt Disney Studios. The company is moving around the debuts of various movies it inherited after buying the bulk of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets in a $71.3 billion mega-merger. As part […]
