Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4160272, member: 668"] Jeez. I don't know what to make of your [I]'perhaps the worst take in the history of this message board'[/I] while you also allege sincerity with your, [I]'no offense to you.'[/I] Really, the history of this message board? Sure, okay. Hopefully, your take there granted you the fulfillment & satisfaction you seemingly were seeking. I provided the link in my post, it's from the ADA website. I copied and pasted from it, and highlighted what I thought may be pertinent. Perhaps, it doesn't apply to "sport facilities" and that is indeed a different category all together. GreekFreak stated in his post that roofs are considered routine maintenance, so that's why relative to your inquiry; [I]"how can replacing a roof not be a major renovation but replacing the seating be considered so major the building suddenly becomes subject to ADA?" [/I]Since it appeared here, under existing commercial buildings that undertake renovations, alterations, etc., and the Dome is a commercial building with a roof on it, I thought there was some relevance. Maybe I am off base, I'm certainly not claiming to be in expert in the field, etc. I just find it beyond unreasonable that it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars related directly, consequentially, or what have you for seating improvements. You stated yourself that the Feds are "unreasonable" and "over the top" here, and have taken an "extreme" position, and gave the SUAD a "crazy" answer. If that's the case, along with the acknowledgement of such considerable ambiguity in the applicable laws, especially when it comes to "existing" buildings vs. "new" construction and having to be at "full" compliance, etc., it would appear SU would have some pretty solid ground to argue such in a court of law if so desired. For what it’s worth, I found this article on a recent "stadium" renovation that had to meet the applicable ADA standard. It appears the $3.9 million cost fell in line with the up to 20% threshold requirement.
