The map I posted had some ADA lots, but the access... that was questionable. When we were loading in the Mockingbird stuff, we had to carry it up stairs and there was no alternate way to that spot from where we were.

Sketchy. Which is interesting. Public universities have a very high compliance burden. Perhaps the required lawsuit has not yet been filed.

It COULD have been done if not for security requirements. A path existed but it was on the wrong side of the checkpoints for this event. I think if you went into the stands entrance and then went via the fieldhouse, you could get to some of the stands without any stairs.

Ah, so the *facility* is likely compliant *if your event uses it right* That's probably true a lot

And this was a pretty edge case only involving the dozen or so people who were staffing volunteer tables. They probably would have found a workaround if really needed.

Like take the path up the hill, go to the staff entrance and into the fieldhouse from there would have been no stairs I think.

Parked in the Ada lot across from the stadium with my dad (79). He walks with a cane, and didn’t have much trouble. We sat in the corner of the lower bowl page side. Went down as far as the handrail went, which wasn’t all the way. Maybe 15 rows from the bottom.

That's good to hear. Sounds like a fine experience. Dad have fun?

The handrail not going all the way was the thing that shocked me. Well that and the gratuitous stairs that you had to go up before you could go down into the venue Fish side.

Yeah we went to that spot page side because it looked like the path of least resistance. Ground level over there was the top of the lower section. The handrail thing would be an easy fix too
