      <![CDATA[ADA acess is not based on how many actually use a facility, it is based on capacity. It does not matter if 10 or 50,000 attend something, as long as the capacity is for a certain amount, a percentage of the total seating capacity must be made ADA accessable.<br>
<br>
The law is not based on collective rights, but individual rights, when taken as a whole, becomes the collective right.<br>

Reading and comprehension is fundamental.i

You used the right sentence for underutilization of facilities. You said, we should close them.<br>
<br>
You are completely right, however, that we, have to be a majority, that is the democratic way, you know.

      <![CDATA[...oh and by the way, not sure where Branston is getting his info, but:<br>
According to other news sources, 1,700 seats will need to be removed to make room for the 288 ADA seats, so John should be thrilled to hear they are actually reducing capacity at the stadium. Not sure if the ADA seats are needed, but the regular seats aren't in much demand either.

      <![CDATA[Well, based on the same criteria (underutilization) we should be closing schools, libraries and golf courses seeing as many of those facilities are underutilized. We should also be selling off parks, ROW on most of our overly-wide streets (seeing as they were designed for traffic volumes that no longer exist) and we need to reduce MATA service by roughly half.<br>
<br>
With the stadium and ADA, the city must make a decision: does the Liberty Bowl, the Southern Heritage Classic and a dozen (poorly attended) UofM games constitute spending $12 million?

<br>
There are cases that the U. S. Supreme Court has already ruled upon. The stadium and its facilities must have reasonable ADA Access, regardless of how manay have used the facility.<br>
<br>
So, they are saving money by not suing.

Has anyone looked at Ole Miss & Miss State? I think they only offer limited end zone ADA seating with ADA restroom stalls and fixtures in the restrooms adjacent.
