The AH bleachers were purpose built for the facility so they could retract into the north and south walls behind the baskets. The Fieldhouse bleachers were conventional and required a set up and tear down by workers. They used to take out the end bleachers for the Mini every year, among other things. They weren’t the same.
the south bleachers at the fieldhouse were not the same type as the north, east, or west ends, bleachers.
the south bleachers were the same color as the ones that ended up in AH, while the north, east, and west bleachers, were green.
whether the south bleachers were the fold up type i know not, but they resembled fold up ones and went to, or almost to, the playing floor, rather than being separated by the sawdust beltway like the green ones were..
the green bleachers were not fold up type, and seemed of lesser quality to me than the south bleachers.
i read somewhere sometime that some fieldhouse bleachers were moved to AH.
being the south fieldhouse bleachers were the only ones that looked like bleachers at AH, i presumed it was those, but have no inside info.
the original 3 scoreboards at AH looked identical to the three at the fieldhouse, so i assumed they got moved from the fieldhouse to AH..
i do remember them always dust-moping the F H floor pre game and at halftime, to de dust them.
i also remember an elevated sign by the south wall of the fieldhouse with the bldg capacity on it, followed by the line, "by order of the state fire marshal".
i don't remember what that capacity was though.
the temporary 17th st fieldhouse was very strangely set up seating wise, and not set up like things were at the 7th st fieldhouse, where bleachers all went to the floor.
