Stadium Help

[laiccm]

Need help! Taking 70 year old uncle to 1st Browns game. Doesn't walk well. What's the best seat for people like him?

THANKS MY DAWGS! GO BROWNS!!

[Westside Steve]

I've never seen any way around walking. Probably too busy for Uber to take you to the front gate but even then it's a hike through the stadium. Wheelchair? The absolutely have handicapped options. Still I wouldn't guess it was a piece of cake.

way back in the day, before my Dad got his knee replaced, it was tough for him, (he just joked about it though)....

getting there early and taking the elevators is great. Walking up ramps with trouble walking - sometimes I've thought they need to have a small golf cart fleet to drive those folks who walk in pain up the ramp. If they did, you could call the browns and register for a ride. with note from their dr, I suppose. Before I had my knee replaced, it was really tough - but it's impossible to avoid all the steps to get to your seats if you are not near the "tunnel" outlet. Hope all goes great.

I wouldn't recommend it.  It's quite a hike for someone with bad knees.  Then you have to stand most of the game because everyone else does.  I made the mistake of taking someone with bad knees once.  I'll never do it again.

My experience is if you are handi capped or disabled you get first rights to the elevator.. I sometimes walk with a cane so I experienced this first hand.. As some days I have issues with vertigo.. What you might do is call the stadiums customer service dept... I'm sure they could help you determine whats best... Good luck!

ones I never got to sit in, lol. sorry.

but here is a "map" of the stadium, I think the white boxes are the tunnel entrance/exits to get to the seats. It would make a big difference. I'm not sure, but I believe the browns have accommodated wheelchairs in the past, but I'm not sure.

I couldn't make it bigger from here, but you can paste it into Word or graphics app and stretch it out to be easier to read.

I'm retired, and it would be easier to read with glasses......

Another thing to consider is that the majority of parking lots/spots for the stadium are quite a hike...

I would try calling the First Energy Browns stadium people for ideas.

There's special areas on each of the levels desenigated for handicapped\ wheelchair seating. IIRC, they're set up to avoid the problem of people standing up in front of you. 

Yes it's a long hike. I wonder if someone rents those motorized scooters?
