It is synonymous with the recommendation that all major stadia convert to an all-seater model (i.e., all ticketed spectators have seats, as opposed to some or all being obliged to stand). The Football League in England and the Scottish Football League introduced regulations intimating that clubs in the highest divisions must comply to this recommendation, and some clubs started upgrading their stadia even before this rule was introduced.
