The Best Seats
In The House

We officially got started on this project towards the end of 2020. In what was a tendered project we were proudly awarded, we worked closely with key stakeholders at the Unversity of Western Ontario who were looking to us to bring some of the energy, design and flair that was so prominent when we were tasked with upgrading Richardson Stadium at Queen's University.

Bennington, Nebraska, a suburb outside of Omaha offers a, “safe, small-town atmosphere with the convenience of the larger Omaha metropolitan area [nearby].” Meeting the requirements of a classic Midwestern town, Bennington offers a public library, several parks and maintains a low crime rate. On the other hand, the close proximity to the city provides easy access to job opportunities, universities and entertainment. With these appealing features, Bennington is an ideal area to live for commuters and as such has seen a consistent uptick in its population.

Sports play a significant role in the lives of many students ranging from elementary school through high school. While encouraging coaches, new uniforms and exceptional facilities contribute towards the positive experiences of players, the support of family and friends is what ultimately makes or breaks their time on the field or court. Understanding the importance of family and friend involvement during athletic events, a school in Blind Brook, New York reached out to Sports Systems and requested help in better accommodating their visitors.

Towards the beginning of the summer, we introduced Marian High School to our readers while highlighting the Indoor Telescopic Bleachers that we provided for them. While most would expect a private, all-girls Catholic school to emphasize the value of extracurricular activities, Marian High School’s devotion to sports has earned them quite the reputation. Offering 11 Class A, state-sanctioned sports to their students, it was easy to see why the initial project we completed was so important. However, the addition of new indoor seating was only the beginning of our professional relationship with the school. Being recruited by the institution once again, our team began work on another seating solution — one that would be installed outdoors.

In Canada, public parks are commonplace and easily blend in with the scenery. With convenient access to a variety of outdoor venues, it is easy to forget the intentionality and effort that allowed for these facilities to be built. Wishing to maintain the same proactive approach that established these parks, the city of Cornwall reached out to Sport Systems and requested help in the renovation of several locations. Visiting multiple parks throughout the city, our team ultimately replaced aging bleachers with new, state-of-the-art alternatives.

Delays are a normal part of life. While these occurrences remain frustrating, the consequences are usually insignificant. However, for event planners, coordinators and venues, slowdowns are often accompanied by additional challenges. Relying on a timely delivery and installation of new outdoor bleachers, Coe Hill Fairgrounds reached out to Sport Systems for help.

Sport Systems has a long and successful history of providing educational institutions with excellent equipment and services throughout Canada and the United States. More specifically, Sport Systems has an impressive portfolio of jobs completed for Catholic schools. Adding to the team’s experience, a project was recently completed for Marian High School, an all-girls Catholic school located in Omaha, Nebraska.

In almost all realms of life, it is always better to plan ahead to ensure you can accommodate the potential outcome and support your expectations. Most would agree that it is better to be overprepared than underprepared, more important to overestimate your needs rather than to underestimate them. Taking active measures to ensure that they are always able to accommodate their guests, St. Joseph-Scollard Hall Catholic Secondary School invited Sport Systems to return to their school and install additions to their outdoor bleachers.

The value of speaking more than one language cannot be understated. Not only is it believed to aid older adults in preventing memory loss (Skibba), it opens the door to many more opportunities in life — especially in employment. With Ottawa’s large bilingual population, the need for businesses such as Sport Systems to cater to both languages is essential. As such, the Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario (CEPEO) has committed itself to providing, “the means to acquire the skills and knowledge [children] need to grow and succeed in a constantly changing world” (“Ottawa”).
