"..the suit claims that U-M officials are fully aware of federal accessibility laws that dictate the number and location of wheelchair seating for stadiums, but have "intentionally" avoided compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act even as they proceed with a $226 million renovation of the Big House.
...according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Ann Arbor by the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America.
U-M officials have maintained they are fully committed to accessibility for all fans. Improving access and seating for disabled patrons were main concerns when considering the renovation, which calls for 83 luxury boxes, officials have said. The area to be renovated will indeed comply with the federal ADA, they maintain."
However the vets maintain that the renovations were staggered to avoid compliance with the ADA requirements of providing full accessibility when renovations are made.
