Then replace the seats! Who needs a padded seat? Back rest is all that matters imho

The 40 number is from the article about the settlement, that is the number of spots NDSU agreed to put in.
So it seems the railing is the main issue, which is what I originally said. I think the problem there is that lower railings do not meet code. Seems the best they could do is to put in all glass railings like at U.S. Bank stadium, which isn't exactly ideal since the glass tends to distort things a bit and you still have vertical supports. Something like this:
Seems like it would be easy enough. Or do you know of better ideas?
The thing is, NDSU agreed to 40 spots throughout the arena and not just "courtside and nosebleed" as the article states it is today. I have to wonder if they thought that through before agreeing to it, because while I see how they could improve things, I don't see how they could do that.
I don't go to bb games so no photos coming from me.
How many more then? What would the right number be?
I guess maybe it's case by case, but even since this discussion started I walked into a big box store where the parking lot was neary full but there were many open ADA spots...I almost took a picture but decided it wasn't worth arguing about. It just seems like there are way more ADA spots than there were say, 10 years ago and I routinely see where they're underutilized.
It's a no-win argument on my part because it ends up sounding like I'm trying to be mean. It's kind of like arguing against more school funding. Does any school ever have enough? How much is enough.....more than they had last year. Ok, is that enough? No, still more is needed. It's for the children
Get your BB tickets now!!!
I've only been to 3 games at the SHAC and have been up in the permanent stands each time. Maybe I should have looked at the ticket exchange to see if we could have been in the front row of the season ticket side that was half-empty on Friday night.
It's OK to not be OK.
Strange that nobody has posted about the new handicap seating in the SHAC.
They lowered the railing and installed companion seating in multiple sections on the concourse. Where they did this took out the top row of seats.
They also added some seating on the floor level. Section 103 (middle section) has some handicap spots along with companion seating on the floor. Very strange that a new front row was added to sections 102 and 104 on the west side. Solid seats the whole row in those two sections. Nothing for handicap seating. Now my seats in section 102 are in the 2nd row instead of the 1st row. Looks like I will have to find another place next season. Not sure how anyone in that new first row is going to see what's going on in the basketball game over the people sitting at the press tables and the people walking in front of them.
533 In a row
Beer and wine has been expanded into certain sections of the SHAC. Details at season ticket holders open house next week.
533 In a row
New rail seating around the upper concourse. Season ticket holders will also be able to select new seat locations between 9/14 and 9/17.
