In use, the seat portion rests on a stadium bench and the backrest extends upwardly from the back of the seat portion. The seat portion is strapped to the backrest by scissor hinges that prevent relative movement of the seat portion and backrest while the seat portion is occupied by a user. The spectator seat is light weight for easy carrying and is made from a suitably durable plastic or metal.
