Tiered seats are a common feature in many modern stadiums, theaters and auditoriums. Synonyms for tiered seats include stepped seating, bleachers, grandstands, and terracing. These terms describe seating that is arranged in ascending rows, giving spectators a clear view of the stage or field. Other synonyms include banked seating, raked seating, and inclined seating. These all refer to seating that is elevated and arranged in a sloping manner. Whatever the term used, tiered seating provides an effective solution to accommodating large numbers of people in a limited space while still providing them with an excellent viewing experience.
