CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/380,281, filed on Apr. 26, 2006 which is a continuation of U.S. patent Ser. No. 11/046,366, filed on Jan. 28, 2005, now abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/846,136, filed on May 14, 2004, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,926,360 which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/348,785, filed on Jan. 22, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,739,667, the contents of which are incorporated in their entirety by reference herein. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to chairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to chairs and frames for chairs that are attachable to or useable with stadium seating, such as bleachers. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Bleacher-type seating is often provided for spectator events such as sporting events, concerts, and the like. Such seating may be provided in a permanent setting, such as a stadium, a semi-permanent setting, such as retractable bleachers in a gymnasium, or on a temporary basis for specific events. Bleachers provide simple, efficient and convenient seating for a large number of spectators; however, bleachers do not necessarily provide the most comfortable seating nor do they typically identify an individual seating location. [0004] To improve the comfort of such seating, patrons sometimes bring their own seats or cushions. While an improvement in comfort, such a solution requires the patron to remember to bring their own device, which is often an afterthought and/or a very easily overlooked consideration when attending an otherwise exciting event. In addition, having spectators hauling their own chairs or cushion into a stadium seating arrangement can be inconvenient and possibly even dangerous to other spectators. That is, walkways are narrow and space is extremely limited so carrying extra items (especially if large, bulky or cumbersome) presents a challenge. [0005] Thus, there exists a need to balance the conveniences and mass seating offered through stadium or bleacher seating with a degree of personal comfort. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Accordingly, a stadium chair and frame for a stadium chair are provided. The frame of the stadium chair comprise a first support member for positioning on a bleacher, the first support member having a first bracket for engaging a front face of the bleacher; a second support member for positioning on the bleacher, the second support member having a second bracket for engaging a front face of the bleacher; a first upright member having a first end joined to the first support member and a hook-type structure positioned at a second end; a second upright member having a first end joined to the second support member and a hook-type structure positioned at a second end; and a horizontally configured structure attached to at least one member, and configured for attachment to the bleacher, the structure positioned at an angle from the first and second support members. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0007] FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a stadium chair frame in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. [0008] FIG. 2 is a isometric view of a stadium chair with the frame of FIG. 1 attached to a bleacher in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
