I'd only ever been to high school games before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. A lot of it was the same; loud, fans cheering, the school colors all over the stands. But what I didn't expect was seeing the band and a full student section. Luckily, we got to the game early enough to get close seats, although we weren't in the student section. Even though by halftime it was evident App was going to win, it was still a fun and exciting game.
It was held in the Convocation center, which presented several difficulties. While there was wheelchair seating, it was limited to entryways and the ground floor of the game, limiting the disabled or elderly to only a few seats. The steps are steep and would could also pose a problem. After the game, I went to the Convocation Center website to see what solutions they offered for accessibility, and there's a whole page on parking, seating, and even hearing devices for those who might need it. here's a screenshot of it:
After seeing that, I was much more impressed by the design of the room than before. The room is also very open, and offers a good view of the game no matter where you happen to be sitting, as I learned from experience during Convocation in the fall.
Overall, it was a good and fun experience, and I rate the Convocation Center as a 8 out of 10 for accessibility!
Goofing off after the game :)
