  1. The Ins and Outs of Stadium Captioning NCRA National Convention Nashville, TN August 2013

  2. 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.

  3. Not governed by the FCC • Others cannot “turn off” captions • Emergency information is very important
