Back home. Some observations...
Parking lot attendants need better training. We were looking to get to one of the two handicap lots and were told: "Go up to the purple lot sign."...but it was roped off...we ask another guy in a vest..."All the spots are taken."...another vest comes up at that moment..."No, there's plenty of places. Just go back through the first open entrance and swing all the way around."...we do that but run into another rope...Another vest "You can't get through here."...the heck with it, we park and walk the extra 50 yards to the entrance. Past plenty of open handicap spots!
Nice ushers helped us find the elevators and gave us a wrist band to allow access - thank you. (Met ADM Miller waiting for the elevator.)
Find our section (401) only to see 40+ very steep steps up to our row - 4 from the top
. Climbed up there and realized it was going to be a long day as doing it more than once more would have been too much. It was incredible that many of the seat leading up had the blue wheelchair sticker - but no possible wheelchair access.
Bottom line: worst seating design I've ever seen.
Also, someone please tell me why the home team - Navy - gets the bad (shady, windy, cold) side of the stadium?
Game went as expected - yeah Navy.
Seeing Pres/VP attend was nice. Obama spent most of the 3rd qtr sitting/talking with a bunch of Cadets. Nice move.
Dinner and lounging at the hotel with my Mid and her roommate was the highlight - as always.
Breakfast in DTA was nice - then no traffic problems all the way back to CT completed the weekend.
