Even if the students are standing, someone in a wheelchair should be able to see from that spot on the concourse.I see now that there are other areas, but based on situations I have seen, I suspect a person in a wheelchair on the concourse would likely be obstructed if fans are standing in the last row or 2.

Karen is going to need to speak with the manager during the first game
As far as handicap seating behind the students, I'd imagine they have thought about that and they'll be elevated a bit to see over students, even while standing.

But the students will likely have some kind of priority system based on attendance to other non major sporting events.
Well more than 2000 want to attend the first game. I am very curious to see how LU prioritizes it.

I suppose this is clear confirmation that the Vines will not be used for sporting events in the future, as the elevated structure appears to be made of poured concrete.
