Spanish specialist Daplast has installed its seat, Avatar model, in the Gran Canary Arena, which is host of some games Basketball World Cup that begins the 30 of August. The Arena has 11.500 stadium seats installed at its grandstands in the last month of 2013.
It is the first sports venue to feature the new Avatar seat, designed for sports facilities. According to a statement of the company Avatar seating has an elegant design that brings clean and aesthetics lines to the sports venue. Another one is the installation system that saves time and makes the distribution of seats more flexible to change at the future.
The colour distribution chosen at the Gran Canaria Arena is different blue colours at the higher rows and yellow colours at the first rows. These are the main colours of the city shield and the local basketball team.
One of the advantages of Avatar seat is the flexibility to move the seats along its metal support which allows changing the seat distribution at the rows without need to dismount all the tip-up seats.
For example, if an event requires an increase of the seating capacity, the seats could be moved along its bracket to leave free space to install more seats at the same row. It would not be necessary to drill an extra hole in the concrete.
After its opening, the Gran Canaria Arena will be the home of the local team, CB Gran Canaria. As well as hosting the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup, it will host the final matches of the Spanish Basketball Cup in 2015. (Stadionwelt, 20.03.2014)
