Officials praise new handicapped area, suggest signage and seating for families
Summary
Commissioners and participants said the recently installed handicapped foundation in front of concessions worked well but recommended clearer signage and folding chairs for family members accompanying patrons in wheelchairs.
A meeting participant praised the new handicapped foundation in front of concessions but said some patrons were standing in the area, prompting a call for more visible signage. The participant said the foundation "looked wonderful, worked really well, except... we probably need to get some signage on that."
Speakers also proposed storing a few folding chairs in concession stands so family members accompanying wheelchair users have a place to sit; VIP chairs for PRCA events were suggested as a short-term option. Officials asked staff to consider these small, low-cost accessibility improvements when refining arena operations.
