If the building was constructed before the law was passed, they should be more-or-less exempted from ADA requirements. A small business doesn’t have the luxury of spending a lot of money on improvements to attract a small number of customers.

The St.Louis Arch is not ADA compliant. They even have signs explaining that it was built way before ADA. Should they be forced to tear it down? There HAS to be some exemptions for historical buildings.

It drives me crazy when I see every new baseball stadium having a wheelchair lift next to the dugout. Has there ever been a wheelchair-bound outfielder?
