Tall Riser System Delivers

In March 2009, Stadium Savers introduced the patented Tall Riser System.
The system utilizes multiple brace points over the formwork height to counteract the tendency of very tall risers to bow outward under the weight of concrete.
In the summer of 2009 two prominent theatre projects benefited from the new system. The Marcus Midtown Crossing Theatre in Omaha, Nebraska utilized the Tall Riser System to hold the 24″ tall bottom rows of their stadium seating alignment. The Kerasotes Roosevelt Collection Theatre in Chicago, Illinois employed the Tall Riser System for 18″ and 21″ tall stadium tiers throughout the complex.
The successful deployment of the Tall Riser System demonstrates Stadium Savers ongoing investment in innovation and improvement.

Stadium Savers tiered seating system was installed in August 2009 in the new Fort Sam Houston Medical Instructional Facility Auditorium, in San Antonio, Texas.
The Stadium Savers Geofoam system was selected for economy and ease of installation. An additional benefit was realized from the contribution of the Stadium Savers materials to the recycled material LEED credit. Documentation of recycled content in the steel and Geofoam materials was provided to the project Architect, who is administering the effort for LEED certification.
The Fort Sam Houston is the first Federal project for the twelve year old Stadium Savers corporation.
Tiered Seating Considerations

Tiered seating in churches has grown in popularity in recent years. The unobstructed sight lines provided by tiered sanctuary seating gives worshipers a strong connection to the activities at the front of the church.
Choirs sitting on tiers facing the congregation reinforce this connection, and choir rehearsal rooms often are tiered to replicate the sanctuary choir loft. Additionally, tiered conference rooms and classrooms provide excellent environments to hear and understand speakers.
The design and construction of all of these areas present common challenges.
