I’m 77 years old and maybe a little uncertain on my feet. My tickets are row 27 in section 620. Are the stairs really steep? If I can’t do it is there a place in the dome I can sit, like club?

I think if you tell people, they will crowdsurf you all the way up to your seat

There are escalators and ramps.

I’m in 646 and never take stairs until I’m walking up the aisle to the seats.

Get there early and take your time. No liquids, save a bath room trip. Bring your radio head set and binoculars. Oh yeah flip phone too for pics.

Up won’t be nearly the issue that down is...

Click the link below for SD accessibility. I'd give them a call this week and see if they can hook you up with at least some assistance. They do sit on some accessible seats, but the longer you wait.... Give them a call at the very least.

Superdome Accessibility

Looking at the seating chart, there is an elevator almost directly ABOVE your section.

Not really that bad at all. You'll be going down a few steps to get to your seats but not 27 and there are hand rails. The elevator and facilities are right behind you. Nice view, too.

Jerk. The man was asking a legitimate question and you just couldn’t help yourself. A-hole

There is an elevator that goes to the terrace. If you contact the Dome and explain your situation, I’m sure they’ll accommodate you.

That way you’ll only have to walk down the stairs to your seats.

I don't envy you. I am old and have knees shot to hell. Going up those steps will be enough of a bitch. Coming down them will be worse. Normally, I let the crowd clear before I try to come back down so I can take my time getting down. Otherwise, check in about more ADA friendly seating. Staff are usually accommodating. Best of luck.

I used to own a medical supply business and have a shite ton of inventory left over.

If you need a knee brace, LMK and I’ll post my email and we can make arrangements.

I don’t want any money FWIW.

Going down is always worse than going up.

I was awarded tickets as a season ticket holder.
Thanks to all for the advice. Especially to contact dome info and that will be walking down a few steps to seats. I have been to the three other Ships we played here. Don’t want to miss this one.
