Spanish term

poner Toledo en las graderias

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
The complete phrase is "Falta cosas, poner Toledo en las graderias, esta todo muy junto". I'm not clear on what they mean by "poner Toledo" or what Toledo would have to do with the stands.

The context is a marketing survey sent to people who attended a Formula E race in Chile. This is the explanation for why they chose the rating they did for the question "How likely are you to recommend this event to a friend". I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking this, I've been at this translation for a while, but any help would be appreciated.
Proposed translations (English)

This is definitely an error. I agree with previous comments, it should read Toldo and not Toledo.
Juan Jacob Jan 23, 2020:
Ja... ...claro. Toldo, no Toledo. ¡Maldito corrector automático!
James Calder Jan 22, 2020:
Marie's suggestion makes sense. I'd flag it for the client, though, so they can change the ES.
Christopher Peterson (asker) Jan 22, 2020:
I think Marie has it - a lot of the entries are complaining about a lack of shade since it was on a hot, sunny day, so that would make perfect sense. Thank you!
Marie Wilson Jan 22, 2020:
Maybe a typo, "poner toldo". Would fit the context.

install awnings on the terraces/bleachers

Graderias would be "terraces" in football, and "bleachers"or "stands" in other contexts like racetracks...

Obviously a typo for "toldo" - well spotted, Marie.
Example sentence:

We are manufacturers of awnings for balconies and awnings for closures of terraces.
