Earlier this week, I posted a question regarding handicapped seating access in BDS. We were trying to carry my best friend's step son with MD, to his first Alabama gameday experience....
I received several replies to the thread with solid info on the Handicapped seating policies (which I greatly appreciated).
One member, screen name Boo Radley, PM'd me offering his 2 tickets to the game which had elevator and wheelchair access. I responded asking how much he wanted for them, and I almost fell out when
he told me they were absolutely free. His great generosity didn't stop there either. He proceeded to source me 2 more tickets that were in that general area of the stadium from some friends he knew, for only face value!
Then to top it off, he gave us a parking pass where we could park in the Coleman Coliseum parking lot!!
I cannot begin to express my thanks and gratitude for the kind gesture he offered to a complete stranger.
The little man had a ball!!! He wanted to stay until the last play, and didn't want to leave after that!! He got to sit down the night before and eat a steak in a steakhouse, got to eat at a Cracker Barrel for breakfast, sit up front for the Walk of Champions(which he got handshakes from at least 5 players, including Amari Cooper, who stopped a couple seconds and spoke to him and made it more than just a casual high five), and watch the game........ All for the first time in his life!!!! It took a few seconds for me to get my composure and hold back the tears after seeing how Coop took the time to acknowledge him. It was only a few seconds but it really made Michael feel like he cared.
We've got pics that are in his moms digital camera. I told her to email them to me when she gets a chance, and hopefully with my limited knowledge of posting up pics on here, I can figure it out (though a "posting pictures on TF, for dummies" tutorial from a kind member would be appreciated)!! I had a couple on my phone that I couldn't get rotated correctly and were posting sideways....
Anyway, A very very big thank you for helping this young mans dream come true!!!!!
