    Any reason they can't go with Plexiglas in those areas? Lots of places do that now for front row seats in upper decks. It can't be that expensive.

    Tempered glass, plexiglass can easily scratch scuff up and harder to clean so you rarely see that used in railings.

    Steel railings are much cheaper though. So that is my guess as to why they weren't glass to start with.

    Either way, has to be some sort of reasonably priced option they can go with. ADA non-compliance is a BIG no no in many ways.

    Being that they have to be engineered to support loads, steel and steel products is about your best option. The cheapest would be a 2 line steel guardrail you see in industrial applications, but that would make a few parents nervous, not even sure it would be allowed in an arena such as SHAC. So after that it is a picket rail that currently is in place. Mesh panel rails, then SS cable railing. Then glass rails are the Cadillac of railings.

    Building codes require 42" guardrails so you can't lower it, and believe you can't really even raise it either, not sure on that though? If they'd been smart about it maybe ran glass at a few locations for the ADA compliance factor and steel pickets like they have for the rest. I'm not sure why that still cannot be a temporary solution. I find it hard to believe if it's been 2+ years now and ADA hasn't gotten involved in investigating it. They either make it by the skin of their teeth with the lower ones maybe?

    I'm sure there are, but does anyone have pics of this particular situation at the SHAC?

    Do you think the ADA requirements were not met and signed off by the people building it. It was not their first building. Yes this will cue up the lack of legroom complaints.
    PS my seats are just fine and I have plenty of legroom in Sect 111 for E.

    Can the SHAC just duplicate whatever the FargoDome is doing for their ADA seating?

    Here's a pic I posted on the FargoDome thread a few years back when they were upgrading their seating area:

    Yes by adding glass rail that I already posted about. Cost may be a factor...
