- Every seat in the stadium gets an upgrade over the club’s current home
- From the supporters’ section to the suites, Venue360 gives fans more ways to experience matchday
- Wider seats, premium padding and innovative mesh options bring a new level of comfort to club and premium spaces
Sacramento Republic FC today announced IRWIN as the Official Seating Supplier for Republic Stadium, the club’s new soccer-specific venue under construction at The Railyards in downtown Sacramento. Irwin will be supplying Venue360 – a seating system designed to create better fan experiences throughout the venue, from the energy of the supporters’ section to the comfort of the stadium’s most premium spaces.
“Every seating experience at our new stadium gets a substantial upgrade through our partnership with IRWIN,” said Republic FC Chief Revenue Officer Dustin Vicari. “From the newest premium offerings — which fans can preview at the Republic Preview Center — to the supporters’ safe standing section and everything in between, we’re giving fans new options built for comfort and reliability.”
“This is exactly what Venue360 was created for,” said Fred Hannapel, Director of Sales. “One stadium. Thousands of fans. Multiple ways to experience a match. Republic FC is putting the fan at the center of every decision, and IRWIN is thrilled we could help put every fan in a better seat — and help create an incredible new place to bring people together.”
Working with IRWIN, the club developed a seating program that upgrades the fan experience throughout the venue. Fans in the general seating bowl will have individual chairback seats, replacing the bleacher-style sections at the club’s current home. At 19 inches wide, general seating also gives fans more room than Republic FC’s current seating options to enjoy the match. Safe standing sections will feature railing and seats that fold flat for supporters who prefer to spend 90 minutes on their feet, chanting, singing and bringing the noise.
The upgrade continues into Republic Stadium’s club and premium spaces. As the club prepares to unveil its premium seating program at the Republic Preview Center, fans will discover seating designed around greater space, comfort and choice. Club seating options will feature 22-or 24-inch-wide seats, with padded seating standard in the stadium’s premier club sections. Select locations will introduce breathable mesh-backed seating, while select suite environments will take comfort even further with cinema-inspired lounge seating.
Behind that comfort is the same commercial-grade engineering IRWIN brings to stadiums, arenas, performing arts venues and entertainment destinations around the world. Venue360 is designed not simply for opening day, but for the thousands of matchdays, concerts, events and celebrations that follow — with durable materials, replaceable components and seating engineered for the demands of a modern venue.
The first opportunity to experience the new seating options will be at the Republic Preview Center. Season Ticket Members and stadium seat depositors will receive priority seat selection and will be able to schedule appointments in the coming weeks. Fans can also purchase 2027 season ticket memberships and place deposits on available seating types to secure priority status.
