What Is This Class Action All About?
Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros has been hit with two complaints within one week over separate claims the franchise violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) during events hosted at the team’s home venue, Minute Maid Park.
In one complaint, plaintiff Joshua Scurria claims he purchased tickets in the lone ADA section on the floor for a Lady Gaga Chromatica Ball concert at Minute Maid Park in September, arguing the area was far away from the stage and poorly constructed.
Scurria, who uses a wheelchair, claims the accessible-designated seating area was not separated by any ropes or barriers, was not raised, and was positioned “directly behind the conventional seating area.”
Further, Scurria claims he was continuously blocked from seeing the concert by able-bodied concertgoers who were standing on their chairs, and that his complaints to attendants at the event did not fully solve the problem.
“Mr. Scurria complained to attendants about folks passing through the ADA section, but they had no idea what to do or how to respond to his complaints,” states the Houston Astros ADA lawsuit.
Scurria argues he was “unable to fully enjoy” the Lady Gaga concert due to the “constant interruptions” caused by patrons standing on chairs and passing through the ADA seating section.
Plaintiff is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory relief along with compensatory and nominal damages.
