a seat base comprising a plurality of bleacher attachment elements including at least one front bleacher attachment element configured to grip a front edge of a bleacher plank and at least one back bleacher attachment element configured to grip a back edge of the bleacher plank, wherein at least one of the plurality of bleacher attachment elements includes a j-hook attachment element comprising a rigid shaped rod having a horizontal section, a vertical section, and a return section, wherein the horizontal section is slidably secured to the seat base through at least one bore or hole on an underside of the seat base with a tightener that threads onto a free end of the j-hook opposite the vertical section and bears against the seat base to draw the j-hook toward the bleacher plank so that the j-hook grips the bleacher plank to secure the bleacher chair to the bleacher plank;
a back rest, wherein the back rest comprises a first arm connected to the seat base by a first pivot and a second arm connected to the seat base by a second pivot so that the back rest pivots between a first folded position and a second upwards position, wherein the first pivot comprises a bias hinge so that in an absence of any force applied by a user, the back rest is urged to the first folded position wherein the rest is biased toward the first folded position such that a person has to apply an upward force to the back rest to sit on the seat base and the back rest returns to the first folded position against the seat base when the force is released; and
a damper that slows or damps the pivoting of the back rest from the second upwards position to the first folded position.
