When You're Presenting Large Public Events, You've Got To Set Up Comfortable Seating For All

Spectator seating is always welcome when it is provided at locations where the public is invited to enjoy sporting events or other kinds of activities. If you're going to go to a baseball game, it's always nice to have good, comfortable seating that is supplied for those who like to watch the games.

Another sort of sports venue that often requires seating is the soccer field, because the number of fans of that sport is ever increasing in this country. College campuses usually have a need for seating at any number of different athletic competitions, from football, lacrosse and hockey, to track and field events.

Oftentimes, school districts will need to provide seating for particular student events and activities, and the seating can be used indoors, in a gym maybe, or outdoors. Another kind of spectator event requiring seating arrangements often on a large scale are NASCAR tracks, which typically must accommodate thousands of spectators.

One other kind of public event that often draws large, enthusiastic audiences, and requires a significant amount of seating to accommodate spectators is a rodeo. When chairs are chosen for spaces where many people gather, it's a good idea to choose materials that can handle a lot of use and are easy to clean.

You can seat the greatest number of people using space as efficiently as possible while shelling out less than you would on other solutions by simply installing bleachers. If you've got a limited amount of floor space to seat spectators, you'll want to place plank seats in your venue because they make the most efficient use of space.

Clean and maintain these sorts of seats with the most minimal of equipment, and you'll find that they stay practically spotless with a hosing down and some sweeping. You'd often find that arena seating was made from good old fashioned timber in days gone by, but now lightweight metals and molded plastic are more often exploited.

Although steel might seem to be the most solid and lasting of materials available, you might learn that plastic seating is more cost-effective and also easier to maintain. Paint your plastic seats if you opt to cover them in your school's colors, but you don't have to coat them to shield them from the harsh elements that corrode certain materials.

The elements will not cause plastic or aluminum seats to rust or corrode, so there's no obligation to give them a new coat of sealant at the launch of each new season. You might also explore portable bleachers, which offer a flexible solution for multi-use facilities that may be required to change floor plans periodically.

Plan ahead for your arena and find the product that works best for you.

Super Humans or Human Plus Athletes Can Will Events to Occur - Now I Have Proof of That

I've always believed that one can will events to occur in sports and competition, and that the strongest and most agile mind are forces to be reckoned with. They say you must believe to achieve, and that having a winning attitude makes all the difference. I think inherently we all know this, but now there seems to be some folks putting real empirical evidence to the concept, a winning concept, if you ask me. Okay so, let's talk about this shall we?

There was an interesting article in New Scientist titled; "Smart Guide to 2012: How to win at the Olympics," which was published on December 27, 2011 which stated that most Olympic athletes will already have the optimal gene set, training, and diets to compete, however, with such a leveled playing field, it is the mental horsepower which will make the difference. The article stated;

"It's only in the last decade or so that psychological training has been recognised as equally important to sporting success as the physical side. The psychologist to the British Olympic team runs twice-monthly sessions for athletes in the final year of the run-up to the Olympics. A pair of psychologists in Israel implement a 4-yr. program of psychological training with their athletes, which starts as soon as the last games finish."

Now then, yes, indeed hats off to these psychologists, but I would submit to you that over 60-years ago Maxwell Maltz in his book "Psycho-Cybernetics" explained all this. And as a former high-level athlete myself once upon a time, I can tell you that the strength of character and will is what sets apart the winner from the losers or 'also rans' - in fact, the difference in attitude and belief is so important that even a genetically inferior athlete can compete and win if they are in the right mind-set. How do you think I know this?

It is not my intention to take anything away from the PR or research of these Israeli sports psychologists, after all, they are merely attempting to put their research into action, and help athletes reach their full potential and realize their dreams, while making a little money for themselves - it's just that - really, I thought everyone competing at this high-level already knew all that. For someone who has competed, I've experienced it and hardly need a bunch of sports psychologists to secure a write up in a psychology journal to convince me. Indeed, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
