[nagdu] access laws regarding guides at sporting events

[Tina Thomas]

Hello- I have taken my dog my dog to UFC fights, and several sporting events and it was fine. Just be assertive and let the folks at the stadium know that you have the right to sit in the seat that your ticket says. However, there is disabled seating and you and your dog might be more comfortable in those seats.

I have taken Chase to both football and baseball games.  He does fine.  He simply lies beneath the seat I'm sitting on.  I expect any NFL stadium would have services for the disabled.  You could contact the people who run the stadium and ask for that department.  I know the San Francisco Giants website makes it clear they welcome service dogs.  Stanford Stadium did too. 
Good luck.

Hi NAGDU and particularly Marion, 
I'm looking at going to an NFL game with Stockard this next year. I've gone to several baseball games  and other sporting events with her in the past. Last year when I tried this, I was told some information that I'm not sure was ADA compliant as far as where I would be allowed to sit etc. I ended up not taking Stockard to the game. Can you or somebody on this list send me a copy of the laws, if any exist, pertaining to guide dogs at sporting events in particular football games. 
Look, I know taking dogs to sporting events is a contreversial issue, people wanna debate wether or not a dog has enough space, the noise level etc. I'm not looking for a debate or anything, I just want to know how to proceed so that I can go to a football game and sit anywhere I purchase a ticket with my dog. 
Thanks 
Laurel and Stockard
