American Grandstand Seating

American Grandstand Seating is a company that combines rental operations with custom design, fabrication, installation, and permanent seating expertise. In 2011, it joined forces with Mike Brown Grandstands to create one team that manages work from site planning through final installation. They serve demanding events and venues across the West, offering mobile and demountable systems for audiences of every size.

The business offers rental inventory including bleachers, mobile bleachers, chair risers, platforms, stairs, ramps, elevators, and crowd-control systems. They also provide custom grandstands, structural fabrication, inspections, repairs, renovations, and expansions. Clients can choose between temporary rentals for live schedules or permanent construction for long-term use.

To get started, visitors are asked to provide the location, event date, audience estimate, preferred seating type, installation window, ground conditions, access limitations, and whether the need is temporary or permanent. The team then helps identify the right approach by discussing the venue, audience, and schedule before coordinating delivery and installation.

The company states that their approach is direct: they understand the venue, recommend a practical system, coordinate the details, and deliver the seating safely and on schedule. They plan for the venue and deliver for the audience, ensuring the seating is ready when the gates open.

They have been established for over 50 years, with a history of serving the special-events seating industry since the 1970s. In 2011, they merged with Mike Brown Grandstands to combine experienced rental operations with custom design and fabrication capabilities.

The business serves California, Nevada, Arizona, and select Western projects. Their mobile inventory includes 34-foot, 10-row bleachers, and they have completed projects for events like the Pasadena Rose Parade and UNLV stadium events.
