The Space
Pitch-adjacent deck behind the south goal. Current renders place a stage along the left half, a ramp mid-deck, and a 5-picnic-table cluster to the right of the ramp. A pitch-edge strip runs the full width below all of it.
The south-end deck behind the goal needs to flex between an everyday premium hospitality space (~50 seated guests) and a stage-event mode hosting groups of up to 200. This report captures the layout decisions, build spec, and outstanding rental commitments needed to make both modes work from a single physical buildout.
Pitch-adjacent deck behind the south goal. Current renders place a stage along the left half, a ramp mid-deck, and a 5-picnic-table cluster to the right of the ramp. A pitch-edge strip runs the full width below all of it.
Two distinct modes from one buildout. The mode change is operational, not structural: stools come off, chairs go out, the buildout itself does not move.
Confirmed The ~100 bar seats for the stage zone are already on the furniture rental order.
New The ~100 stackable chairs proposed for the south zone are introduced in this report. They are not yet on the rental order and have not been priced or sourced. Adding them is the prerequisite to hitting the 200-cap target.
Square-footage-per-person varies by event mode. The picnic-table layout caps the room well below what the brief requires. Theater rows are roughly twice as dense and unlock the 200-cap mode.
| Mode | Sq ft per person | 1,500 sq ft holds | 2,000 sq ft holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theater chairs facing stage | 6 to 8 | 188 to 250 | 250 to 333 |
| Standing reception (mingle) | 8 to 10 | 150 to 188 | 200 to 250 |
| Standing concert (close pack) | 4 to 5 | 300 to 375 | 400 to 500 |
| Cocktail rounds (seated) | 12 to 15 | 100 to 125 | 133 to 167 |
| Banquet rounds | 15 to 18 | 83 to 100 | 111 to 133 |
| Picnic tables (current spec) | 10 to 12 | 125 to 150 | 167 to 200 |
Theater rows are the densest layout that still feels seated. Picnic tables consume nearly twice the floor per person that theater rows do, and orient half their seats facing away from the action.
Perimeter-only fixed furniture, modular middle. Anything bolted to the floor lives on the perimeter, where it does not subtract from event capacity. The middle stays as empty floor and gets configured per event.
Bar-height composite rail along the pitch edge with removable outdoor bar stools at 24" centers.
Where the picnic tables currently sit. Replaced with empty floor, configured per event mode.
Counter ledge bolted to the back wall and stage flank. Free seating that consumes no floor footprint.
| Mode | Tier 1 | Tier 2 | Tier 3 | South total | + Stage zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hospitality day | 25-30 | 16 | 8-12 | ~50-60 | n/a |
| Stage event day | ~15 std | 80-100 | service | ~95-115 | ~200+ |
Trex composite decking, $2,500 turnkey for 60 ft. The aesthetic target was the wood-look HDPE poly lumber used in Polywood and Loll outdoor furniture. The cheaper sibling is composite decking from the same wood-plus-plastic family, sold as deck boards instead of finished furniture.
| Item | Spec | Qty | Unit | Subtotal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trex Enhance Basics 1x6x20' | Tabletop, two boards wide x 60 ft | 6 | ~$60 | $360 |
| PT 4x4x8' posts | Every 4 ft | 16 | ~$10 | $160 |

Strip the stools and it's a ~$700 standing rail. Drop to 40 ft and knock about $1,000 off the seated version.
Real Polywood / HDPE poly lumber on the same build runs $3,500 to $5,000 in tabletop alone before framing or stools. Manufactured stainless equivalents from SiteScapes-class vendors are quote-only and run roughly $24K to $48K for 60 ft installed. The Trex DIY path is the right call at Triumph's scale.
The chair-row mode only works if 80 to 100 stackable chairs have a home. Three options ranked by cost:
Material and industry comparables for the buyer-side pitch.
| League | Approximate per-seat per-match pitchside |
|---|---|
| MLS premium pitchside (SKC, Sounders, NY) | $200 to $500 |
| USL Championship pitchside (Tampa Bay) | $75 to $200 |
| USL League One (likely Triumph price band) | $40 to $100 |
Conservative sanity check: 30 seats x $50 per match x 14 home matches = $21,000 per season. A $2,500 build pays back in the first ~2 home matches. Sell as a bundled hospitality package (seat + F&B + parking + in-seat service), not as a standalone "drink rail seat."
