The 8 in the freaking morning blog

For my assignment, I went to the football spring game. I actually work for the athletic communications office so I was up in the press box. The football stadium is one facility that we have not taken a tour of this semester, and it is a very interesting facility. Since it is rather old, alot of features that are common place now, are not found in the football stadium. One area that comes to mind is ADA regulations. In the press box, it would be very difficult for members of the media to get around. Each one of the separate broadcast booths are 2 tiered, meaning that if someone with a disability were to need to use the pressbox, they would have to remain on the top level where the views are not good. There is a working elevator however it is old and outdated and often times takes a while.

Another area of concern is general seating. There really is no handicapable seating area. Should someone in a wheel chair want to attend the game, they are relegated to the corner of the endzone, a place with horrible sight lines.
