Good question. Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway.

I don't sit on a stand. I sit on a chair or bench or stool or something. Not a stand.

For the same reason that they're not called Sits.

Originally they were just terraces, with handrails, for standing in.
Many places still have them.
Ironically they're called the 'cheap seats'.

Haven't you noticed people "standing" in them? I always get behind those folks. They drive me nuts!

I do know that Choirs and Bands use them while they perform. I am not sure where the name came from.
