The retractable grandstand

A retractable grandstand (also known as a telescopic stand) is a type of stand used in multi-purpose sports, cultural and educational buildings to make a hall multifunctional for different users and applications. The structure is designed to take up minimal space when fully retracted. When extended, visitors can be seated with a good view of the stage or playing field.
