TRANSCRIPT
KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Stadium Captioning is governed by the Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessible Stadiums document http://www.ada.gov/stadium.pdf
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires new stadiums to be accessible to people with disabilities so they, their families, and friends can enjoy equal access to entertainment, recreation, and leisure.
At least one public TDD (telecommunications device for persons who are deaf or who have speech impairments) must be provided. Signs must identify the location of the TDD and provide direction from other telephone banks.
For each bank of public telephones with three or more units, at least one telephone must be equipped with a shelf and electrical outlet to permit a person to use a portable TDD.
Where audible fire alarms or emergency notification is provided, flashing lights are required in public and common use areas, including toilet and bath rooms, locker rooms, and along public corridors.
Generally do not put up parentheticals for [ Applause ] or [ Booing ]
“So, seeing as he was one of the worst free agent signings in Yankees history, when he was introduced yesterday at Yankee Stadium the boo birds came out...even on the scoreboard.Man, that's just cold. Even the hearing impaired now know how much people hate Carl Pavano.”
