RAC - Suggestions for older fan with knee problem

[Scangg]

I'm bringing my whole family to the game tomorrow and got a mini game pass for tickets. The problem is my tickets are in the 300s and my dad is getting old and now has a knee problem that is really bothering him. Not sure if he will be even able to make it to the seats

Any suggestions or tips on how to make his experience more bearable?

You should be able to exchange tickets once inside the RAC for a couple seats in the disabled section. You may want to get there a little early to make sure there are seats available.

That is good advice .

Go on Stubhub and buy lower level seats for $50 each right now. Win win for best seats

There are 7 of us going is the problem. Looks like we won't all be able to sit together but maybe my parents can get into the handicap section

Or buy 2 in lower and split up if handicap doesn’t work out. Can buy right before the game

This is one of the bigger issues with the RAC that nobody ever discusses. Most arenas with upper levels have upper access. I can tell you my back has stopped me from sitting anywhere above the first half of the 200's. Without season tix its hard to get good seats for big games early in the season. Thankfully I found some lessor games from fans on the Tix Forum.

You want to talk about a tough walk, getting up to the upper level of Marylandsfootball stadium is a long and unrelenting ramp
A good workout for the oldersters

He can crawl up, kidding aside the handicap section might be a play

Just adding hand rails down the middle of the stairs would be a big help.

Asking someone with a lower body disability to navigate those steep stairs without a handrail is a bit too old school.

I thought they didn't have them up there. That's seriously tough. I don't think I could have a drink in one hand and something in the other and walk it. My lower back gave out walking DOWN the steps with a beer in hand this season at SHI and fell on my ass. Folks thought I was drunk at first.didnt spill the beer and took a bow.

Lol, yeah that is a challenge and no they don't have rails in the upper sections at the RAC.

They do, but I don’t think they start until you’re about 20 steps up in the 200s
