I don’t know about other stadiums, but access to the 2nd deck seats in the Metrodome (current home of the Vikings) is below the first row, with room for wheelchairs at that level in front of the first row. You’re closer to the field at the front of the 2nd deck than you are at the back of the 1st deck (where there is no space for wheelchairs, you have to descend stairs to get to the front of the first deck). That was built around 1980, and I would think any multi-deck stadium built since then would be at least as wheelchair friendly.

As a guy currently forced to use handicap seating, I applaud such an accessory for wheelchair users.
Also, love the thought balloon in panel two!

One of the women at my job has a wheelchair with a lift feature. Not so high but then she’s not a sports fan.
