Need advice from Tiger fans on getting son to game

Call the ticket office tomorrow re: handicapped parking.

I see shuttle buses around, and I also see people being driven in golf carts. Maybe someone will post with info on how to access these services.

Would one of those pedi-cab things be of any help?

I just clicked "Request Admin" and requested for it to get pinned.

Idk if it would bug the admins or get their attention more if we got more people to request it to be pinned

I have a son with Duchennes. He lost the ability to walk at 10. He's been to quite a few games before and since. We always used a chair and either my wife dropped us off and picked us up close to the stadium or we parked in the free lots near the old front nine. Really not that far. I've pushed him in a chair and he's used a power chair. Marshals at the stadium are always more than helpful.

Good luck.

I tried that last week and the ticket office did not offer any spots where I could park.

What do you mean? They didn't tell you where the handicapped parking is located and how to access it?

ETA Touchdown Express

Touchdown Village has shuttles that drop off at the stadium.

I would drive as close to the stadium as I could and once I got to the barricades I would explain to the police officer my situation and I would almost bet that he could find you a place to park or he could get one of the officers on the utvs to transport y'all.
