UM Stadium Opens to Disabled Football Fans


 

WJBK TV News
August 12, 2008

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

Michigan Stadium is taking shape. Saturday’s home opener against Utah means a new era, with a new coach, but also new seating for people with disabilities as the stadium is now in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the ADA, the University settled a lawsuit brought by the Michigan chapter of the Paralyzed American Veterans.

Plaintiff Clark Shuler:

I’m glad that this didn’t go to trial and that we were able to reach a settlement that was agreeable to both parties. We have a choice now of price points and viewing experiences, and that’s what the ADA calls for. So, we’re pleased about that also.

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

Attorney Richard Bernstein, a U of M grad and former student government president, represented the paralyzed veterans in their legal victory.

Attorney Richard Bernstein:

This facility is now going to be the most ADA compliant facility throughout the entire country.

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

Disabled and incapacitated people will now have choices for seats.

Attorney Richard Bernstein:

To allow for all vantage points of the game. These are incredible, incredible seats. If I could see, I would love these seats.

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

Fox 2 reports, especially SKY FOX video, ended up as evidence in the lawsuit. Lawyers for the University had initially argued that the work on the stadium was maintenance and repairs, not alterations subject to the ADA.

Attorney Richard Bernstein:

Had Fox 2 not been covering this story, and had Fox 2 not uncovered key evidence, that was actually used in all the court proceedings, I don’t think we would have got the resolution that we had gotten so quickly.

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

The lawsuit settlement also makes single ticket purchases, including for Saturday’s game, available for disabled fans. Go to myfoxdetroit.com for more information.

Attorney Richard Bernstein:

Get those tickets and get out here and be a part of the action!

News Reporter Bill Gallagher:

In Ann Arbor, Bill Gallagher, Fox 2 News.
