A cover piece and seat member for a bleacher seat unit, said cover piece and seat member comprising:
- a. a seat member having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front side, a rear side and two terminal end sides;
- b. a cover piece comprising:
- i. a first cover piece portion comprising a polymeric material and having a substantially flat top portion and adapted to be substantially coextensive with said top surface of said seat member;
- and
- ii. at least one second cover piece portion comprising a resilient polymeric material, said at least one second cover piece portion having an original shape and comprising a side portion, a top lip portion and a bottom lip portion;
- wherein said at least one second cover piece portion is sufficiently resilient so that it may be flexed from said original shape to a tensed shape whereby said at least one second cover piece portion can be placed over at least one of said sides of said seat member whereby, once released from said tensed shape so as to form a relatively less tensed shape, said top lip portion and said bottom lip portion cooperate to urge said first cover piece portion against said top surface of said seat member.
