I've sat on my share of bleacher seats
On glorious spring and fall afternoons,
In the scorching heat of summer playoffs,
During snowstorms when we dug out the seats,
In dreary gyms in random towns.
I recently became the owner of a previously-loved
Portable watching-sports-chair!
To be honest, the bleachers, if present,
Are increasingly uncomfortable!
To be honest, getting up from the ground,
Is a little more challenging.
So, I was a bit surprised,
And yet not surprised at all,
When I saw this new invention
Resting proudly on the sidelines
So that little ones can rest their loins,
As they await their turn
To kick the ball around the field.
Yes, you too can have one of these
Saving your littles from intense bleacher discomfort
Or the ravages of the hard ground.
Amazon, Dicks, Walmart...
I feel as if I was living under a rock
Or perhaps under a bleacher!

It continually surprises me the inventions one can find. Maybe that “chair” would be fun to use. : ) My step-daughter has a stove, washer, dryer, front door lock, thermostats, and something else that can all be controlled by an app on her phone. I am amazed by that, too.
Your post brought up a statement from my memory: The need is the mother of invention. :)
I remember those bleachers, both in the gym and out on the football field - my kids were in the band. We eventually got a cushion to sit on.
