Have you ever sat in a “stadium seating” movie theater? Almost all of us have. Well, except for Clark. But people love this new kind of futuristic seating, especially in movie theaters. There are now 18,000 theaters with stadium-style seating. There’s only one problem. People in wheelchairs can’t get to the seats because the rows have steps. One of the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act is to accommodate the handicapped in public places. But theater chains completely ignored the law in their rush to build these theaters and make money. Theater chain operators are complaining that reconstructing their theaters will cost billions of dollars. But they could have prevented that if they’d made arrangements in the beginning. Sports arenas are another problem area. Some have made accommodations specifically for the handicapped. But others have either totally overlooked it or have made wheelchair rows behind regular rows. The problem with that is that when non-disabled people stand, those in wheelchairs behind them cannot see. But movie theaters haven’t made any arrangements at all, and now they will have to work out some kind of retrofit. New theaters will have to be built. If only a little bit of thought or caring had gone into this in the first place.
