Grandstand Backrest Program

In an effort to improve the condition of the SD State Fair Grandstand, backrests are being added to the bleachers. A full backrest is 14'8". It spans ten seats or a whole row. A half row contains five seats. A full row costs $600, while a half row costs $300. The listed cost is for three years, not per year. All costs are also included in the price.

Businesses can advertise their business or individuals can put up signage in memory of a loved one. Once the decision is made to purchase advertising for a backrest, you will work with State Fair staff to decide on placement. Design of the signage will be handled by one of two companies that have partnered with the SD State Fair.

Backrest holders will have the opportunity to purchase SD State Fair grandstand tickets prior to general and Friends of the Fair ticket sales.
