After receiving he email about parking I inquired about handicapped parking and received this reply from the ticket office. Hope it helps others.

Gameday handicap parking for the 2012 Football season will be relocated from parking lot M on Cypress Drive to the Alex Box West parking lot on Gourrier Lane. This change is being made in response to requests for more spaces for handicap parking and improved access to the stadium for handicap individuals. This relocation will increase gameday handicap parking capacity from 120 spaces to over 200 spaces, a 66% increase in the number of spaces. In addition, the Alex Box lot location will provide a more efficient pregame and postgame shuttle route for patrons using the lot for accessible needs.

Thanks for the information OldSarge38. I however don’t see it that way. I see the powers that be taking those 120 spaces and selling them at $800 a pop while moving the handicapped to the edges of the campus. The shuttle service is also not all that good. While in a pinch I could walk (if needed) to and from Lot M in the past, there is no way I could walk to and from Alex Box West on game day.
I know this topic is only of interest to a very few, but to those few avid Tiger Fans it is a very important issue.

I am a wheelchair user. I was born with Spina Bifida. I've a parking pass in Lot K. I really like it in that area. Yes, it is a little distance, but the surface is great to roll on. (no rocks,grass) I also have easy access to load & unload my chair with out any problem.
Baseball is a different story. I haven't been able to obtain a pass yet for baseball. Parking in the field sucks, specially when it rained alot like the week of the Air Force series.
