Question about the stadium

Posted: 9/5/2013 10:19:58 PM

Hello all,
I ended up buying 6 tickets to the Marshall Ohio game next week. I can't seem to recall if peden (sp?) Has handrails in 103. My friend who is coming, bobcat36 has met him, has ms and vanr walk up steps without them. If it doesn't it won't be a big deal as I always let he lean on my shoulder for balance but it just popped up in my head. I will leave you guys alone until next week after this I just would like a heads up.

Thanks and good luck this weekend.

There are no handrails going up to 103. The accessible seating, however, is right in front of that section and just to the left if getting up the stairs is a problem. I would be willing to swap some of my extras with you if they are in a lower row, but most of mine are 25-30 rows up.

I've got two on the 50 15 rows up which I'll be more than happy to trade. Does anyone have seats in the Phillips Club that they would trade out?

Thank you guys for a fast response. While I am touch at your guys hospitality and willingness to help rival fans out. Our seats relatively low. I'm willing to let him get mad at me for making him us my shoulder but he will kill me if I traded tickets for him. Honestly thank you guys and this is one of the reasons I have grown to like the bobcats (when our teams aren't the field playing each other)

as an undergrad you learn to climb all over Athens like a billy goat and I must admit I never stopped to think what campus is like for those with hindered mobility.

Stadium steps can be tough to navigate even for those of us with full mobility, I wonder if that's a viable option as a stadium upgrade, are the steps wide enough to support a rail down the middle? Seems like it would be a sensible thing to do.

If he thinks he may have problems ascending the steps up 103 you might consider sitting in the folding chairs that are provided on the ground level in front of section 109. Just ask any usher.

I've had some recent struggles with balance. Never appreciated handrails so much. Especially on steep stadium seats...

I've seen crazier things happen.

One injury is all it takes sometimes. I have to go to physical therapy twice a week and workout 2 times a day. What did I do to deserve this? Nothing other than age. One day I woke up in severe pain and it never went away.
