The old Yankee Stadium featured black-painted vacant bleachers, nicknamed the black by baseball fans.

The term "under the bleachers" is imbued with cultural meaning from the post-war era of American high school football stars and cheerleaders, similar to "under the boardwalk".
Bleacher Report was founded in 2007 by David Finocchio, Alexander Freund, Bryan Goldberg, and David Nemetz—four friends and sports fans who had been high school classmates at Menlo School in Atherton, California.
He was the younger brother of Bartholomew Teeling and in 1802 switched careers from a linen bleacher to journalism.
Battey was also part of a charity program sponsored by Consolidated Edison whereby children were given free bleacher tickets to New York Yankee games.
