Best Answer

Bleachers are essentially benches typically found at outdoor sports venues which are not covered by a roof and are usually single-tiered. In Baseball parks, the bleacher area is typically located behind the outfield wall or fence. High schools and colleges also have bleachers at their outdoor sports facilities for spectator accommodation. Retractable bleachers are found at indoor sports venues such as gymnasiums and field houses. The name "bleachers" comes from the fact of this type of seating being uncovered and exposed to the sun causing them to alter their color or be "bleached". The spectators occupying these benches are often referred to as "bleacherites" or at Wrigley Field in Chicago, "bleacher bums".
