No provisions for the handicapped at FCHS

I visited your [Fayette County High School] stadium on 10-28-2011 for the Sandy Creek vs. Fayette County High football game.

I was appalled when I got there and saw there was no handicapped seating.

I go all over to high school football games in Georgia. I am a 62-year-old amputee in a wheelchair. Every high school stadium I have visited has a section for wheelchairs.

I paid $7 and had to park my wheelchair next to the bleachers on the 10-yard line and could hardly see the game from ground level.

I’m going to write to the newspapers and see if something can be done for wheelchair-confined persons. This to me is a violation of the [Americans with Disabilities] Act.

I would think since there is a ramp to access the bleachers that a section of the lower seats could be removed to accommodate people who are in wheelchairs.

I hope that you can find a solution for this problem.
