Attn: Helen Bina

Dear Senator Mack:

        This letter responds to your correspondence on behalf of
your constituent, XX, concerning the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) and his experience at Joe Robbie Stadium.

        Title III of the ADA bans discrimination by places of public
accommodation, including stadiums and concert halls. The ADA
requires that those entities remove barriers to access by
individuals with disabilities, including those who use
wheelchairs, to the extent that removing the barriers is readily
achievable. The title III regulation issued by the Department of
Justice (enclosed) requires that wheelchair seating be dispersed
throughout seating areas in places of assembly to the extent that
doing so is readily achievable. These requirements are further
explained in the title III regulation in sections 36.304-36.305
and 36.308.

        If Mr. XX believes that Joe Robbie Stadium, Genesis,
TicketMaster, and the Sound Shop's actions resulted in
discrimination on the basis of his disability, he has two
enforcement options under the ADA: (1) He may secure private
legal representation and bring an action in Federal court, or (2)
he may file a complaint with the Department of Justice.

        To file a complaint with the Department of Justice,
 XX should send all relevant information to the Office on
the Americans with Disabilities Act, Civil Rights Division, U.S.
Department of Justice, Post Office Box 66738, Washington, D.C.

forth, in as complete a manner as possible, the factual
circumstances surrounding the complaint.

        I hope this information is of assistance to you in
responding to your constituent.
                                        Sincerely,
