During the Beaver City Council meeting on August 26, 2026, a significant discussion centered around the need for additional seating at the county arena. Council members expressed a growing concern about accommodating spectators, particularly for events that draw large crowds.

One of the key proposals discussed was the installation of elevated bleachers on the north end of the arena. This addition aims to enhance visibility for attendees, allowing them to see over existing barriers. The council noted that current seating arrangements are insufficient, especially after relocating portable bleachers from local schools and the county.

The idea of creating an earthen berm to support the new bleachers was briefly considered, but it was clarified that existing structures at the arena already provide elevation. Council members referenced successful designs from other facilities, such as those in Oakley and Duchamp, which feature stairs and ramps for easy access.

This initiative reflects the council's commitment to improving community facilities and ensuring that residents can fully enjoy local events. As the council moves forward with this project, it highlights the importance of accessible and comfortable viewing options for all community members.

In addition to the bleacher discussion, the meeting included other updates, but the focus on enhancing the arena's seating capacity stood out as a clear priority for the council, aiming to better serve the community's needs in the future.
