I am a grand parent...with a safety issue
At the football game 9/19/14 two people fell down the cement stairs. Security stands in the way of people having access to support railings and they also stand in front of the stairs talking to each other blocking the entrance. They are not overly helpful and aware of what is going on. I needed to know where handicap parking was available and tried verbally to get there attention. They were so busy talking to each other a spectator had to tell them I needed help. Someone is going to be hurt and it can be avoided.
