Preferred Stadium and Theater Seating will focus on the marketing; Preferred Seating Designs on stadium design build; its partners will handle manufacturing.

“Of course we are thrilled to release new and exciting products in the theater seating arena,” says Frank Sumner, President for Preferred Stadium and Theater Seating, “but we are equally as excited about the impact that it will have on creating American manufacturing jobs.”

The first stadium seats to be released are the Liberty stadium seat and the Tuf seat. The upscale Liberty stadium seat design is manufactured with robotic quality precision and durability; the Tuf Seat is perfect for tighter budgets and may be retrofit onto existing bleachers or risers. Both are compliant with the American Disabilities Act.

Typically, performing art centers and conference centers require more upscale seating. Some more traditional theater seating venues may include: movie theaters, school auditoriums, lecture halls and service areas. Courthouses often are in need of fixed, individual-type seating as well as arena and larger spectator areas.

And, with the continued growth of mega churches, Concert seats are meeting the needs for church seating. These seats provide more leg room and back-to-back spacing. Fold-up, compact theater seats allow for additional space for increased traffic flow through the aisles and for greater seating capacity.

Sumner adds that, “Current outsourcing and importation of auditorium and stadium seats from countries where labor and materials are less expensive, has contributed to a weakened U.S. economy and unemployment; we aim to reverse this trend.”

After an exhaustive search, Butler selected the award-winning team of Southern Bleacher Company of Graham Texas to manufacture and install their new state of the art bleacher system. Butler also selected architects OMS of Indianapolis Indiana and general contractor Venturi Paine Construction of Indianapolis Indiana. The renovation of the facility just east of Butler University’s historic Hinkle Fieldhouse will increase the seating capacity to 5,547 with the addition of 5,109 new bleacher seats including suites along the west side of the field and 438 new bleacher seats for visiting fans on the east side.

The current renovations are scheduled to be completed in time for the fall season and include seating by American Seating Company and Southern Bleacher’s premium Vertical Rail system – an alternative to traditional chain link.
