UM: ADA Compliance

By

Coral and Opal, “a blog for the Buckeye State disability community,” writes about Michigan Stadium and the university’s resistance to increasing the number of seats for disabled fans. They note that with increased seating available this past season, more people in wheelchairs started coming to games: “This is a classic example of why you can’t let ‘demand’ dictate accessibility. If you build them they will come. If you don’t, they never will. Thanks to the ADA, you will build them. Of course, if Michigan goes 3-9 again next year, I don’t understand why anyone in a wheelchair (or anyone else) would want to go at all – other than to see the Buckeyes roll them on November 21.” [Source]
