So the regular parking spots were already reserved/purchased, and the handicap spots were full. Not quite seeing where the 'jerks' come into play.

Parking at the dome has always felt like a mugging. We stopped going to the KLRN wine tasting when they decided not to have free parking. City pirates.

1. The NCAA does not manage stadium parking.
2. There were free handicap spots available but these folks got there too late.
3. Just drop the guy off at the door and pick him up there after.
4. subby is an idiot.

/nothing to see here, move along

Explain please, what the problem is. Spots are full. Other people had paid for them. Was the attendant supposed to give her a spot then screw the prepaid customer when they got to their spot?

He shouldn't have made those choices that led to him having a stroke.

Sweet jeebus. That may be the ugliest stadium I've ever seen. Looks like a birthday cake gone wild.

I'm sitting in a classroom at the University of Texas at San Antonio right now, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Do some of us guys think we know what we're talking about, but trust you, we don't?

To the family in the story, they were just told that they needed to buy a pass in advance. They weren't told that there was ADA handicap parking available for free or that it was full.
Headline is bad but there's still some education to go around ehre.

Ah yes the Henri' Cisneros {Alamo] Dome. Ugly as hell and only 3000 on site parking spaces for a stadium with a capacity of 65,000.

UTSA will learn, the hard way, that disabled access means "disabled access". If they are sued they will lose. UTSA gets federal funds...they have to comply with federal law.

If UTSA is smart....they work on a settlement, now

First of all UTSA does not run the stadium operations on gameday as the Alamodome is not their facility so no one will be suing them over this. Secondly, there was "disabled access" in the reserved section and "disabled access" in the public section. The people in TFA did not purchase a reserved pass and were too late to nab any of the public spots. Too bad for them.

Woo! Way to go, new school. First time I see you on Fark, you're looking REAL classy! Real classy indeed!
