In 1996, the Department of Justice stated: "Without question the single most prevalent issue that arises in new stadium projects involves the lines of sight afforded to patrons who use wheelchairs and sit in the stadium's wheelchair seating locations. The ADA's Standards for Accessible Design-the architectural requirements applicable to new stadiums-require that wheelchair seating areas provide people with disabilities with lines of sight comparable to those for members of the general public. Thus, we believe that facilities like sports stadiums, where spectators can be expected to stand during the event, must provide wheelchair locations with lines of sight over those standing spectators" The decisions in Miller and Landis, when taken together further reaffirm that the DOJ Guides are entitled to substantial deference by the courts in ADA cases. Thus, explain how this standard was operationalized in Landis, and discuss the current ADA requirements for line of sights for wheelchair patrons at stadiums. You should include illustrations of the "between the heads and over the shoulders" standard.
