Vermont Lake Monsters Face ADA Compliance Issues
The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont has announced that the Vermont Lake Monsters have been cited for violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at their home games at Centennial Field.
An investigation by the United States Attorney’s Office found that the Lake Monsters were denying individuals with disabilities the opportunity to participate in or benefit from the goods, services, facilities, or accommodations of the entity.
The investigation focused on ADA compliance issues related to the Centennial Field’s parking lot, access route, and seating arrangement.
According to sources, the Lake Monsters have completed improvements to Centennial Field making all three of these areas more accessible under the ADA.
Assistant United States Attorney Nikolas P. Kerest handled the matter on behalf of the United States and worked with other Vermont businesses to resolve their ADA compliance issues.
The ADA requires public accommodations to remove architectural barriers to access in existing facilities where it is readily achievable to do so.
The United States Attorney’s Office has been working with the Disability Rights Section of the Civil Rights Division to ensure compliance with the ADA.
Further information on the ADA and its requirements may be found at www.ada.gov.
