Best folding chair for watching kids sports

Mini Moonrocket is doing softball and moved up to a comp team.

I have been told by other parents that I need to upgrade my chair since my butt will be in it a lot.

What is the best softball watching chair?

Any tips on shade?

This is my favorite type of outdoor chair.

Although maybe it’s not the greatest for watching softball, I tend to fall asleep in these.

absolutely, without a doubt this is the best folding chair for sports parents!

I have been told by** other parents** that I need to upgrade my chair …

Don’t let them Chair-Shame you!!!

Folding chairs are crap these days. I have two that I bought about 20 years ago, the quality difference between them and todays chairs is astounding.

If I want one as good as those (I paid under $15 for each chair) now, I would have to pay at least $50.

drink half a bottle of whiskey in the parking lot and you won’t feel the need to sit down in the first place!

I remember those days fondly. Mostly hockey and volleyball for us.

Arm rests and a cup holder are the must-have upgrades, and usually a basic folding chair has those. I advise not getting something too comfy otherwise you risk dozing off and that’s not a good look.

If it’s bleacher seats, you can go upgrade with a basic pad (but meh). More comfy to have something that also unfolds to give you a back rest. Even better if you have the arm rests and cup holder on the thing.

Edit - Shade? As in color… Should be in team colors of course. Extra points if you also get the team logo on it.
