James F Bryant

A telescopic grandstand is provided including a central support structure and two sets of interconnected telescopic grandstand seating tiers. One set of tiers is located adjacent one side of the support for telescopic movement between a closed position adjacent the vertical upright portion of the support and an open use position wherein the tiers of the set form a stepped configuration which extends outwardly from the adjacent side of the support and downwardly from the top of the vertical portion of the support. The second set of telescoping seating tiers is similarly located adjacent the other side of the vertical portion of the support. The entire unit is movable in directions normal to the sides of the vertical portion of the support, and means are provided for rotating the unit about a vertical axis. A method for using the grandstand also is provided such that the seating configuration of the open central area of an arena or the like may be readily, easily, inexpensively and safely converted among various desired configurations.
