Handicapped accessibility is very difficult.

Handicapped accessibility is very difficult.
* When taking BART to the stadium, I can use the elevator to get down and check out of the station, but then there are SEVERAL STAIRS to climb to get out of the station to the skywalk to the stadium.
* The skywalk itself is also a very long walk when disabled, and to make matters worse, one has to navigate through crowds of people who are not paying any attention and bumping into each other as they hurry along, scalpers pushing against the crowds, and vendors with their food and clothing and the musicians with their musical instruments strewn across the walkway. If your tickets are "on call" you have to literally go to the opposite side of the stadium to pick them up. If you are very lucky, you MIGHT get a ride in a golf cart after you have crossed the skywalk, but even then, you might not get a ride the full distance, and even if you do, you are on your own again once you pick up your tickets.

There are limited entrances, and your seat could be quite far from wherever you pick up your ticket, and enter the building. Then...there are MORE STAIRS just to get to your seat, which is too small to accommodate most American butt sizes.

I adore watching baseball live. I won't even waste my time watching it on TV. But when the stadium makes it such a nightmare for a disabled person to attend a game, it becomes a super rare event for me to enjoy. I would make it much more of a routine if it wasn't so hard to get there and so uncomfortable to sit in those chairs.
