Think I can take a cane into Capital One Arena?

Forums:

I tried emailing them, but they never replied. I'm not "legally" handicapped, but I have a bad knee. Website says no sticks or poles. What do you think?

I think you're SOL.

Get a crutch

Nope

Get a note from your doctor to take with you? I would try emailing again, and to as many people as you can think of.

I would think that you can. ADA Laws make it so they cannot ask or require what your disability is. I'd call to make sure but it should fine to take with you. 

 It's a hard aluminum cane, definitely won't make it through the metal detector, lol

Make a phone call. Emails are way too easy to delete.

Yeah because if you say you called and spoke to so and so I'm sure they'll believe you.  I'm thinking they would be more willing to accommodate you with permission in email form over a verbal okay over the phone.

what Jen said.. it's the same as coming to a show in a wheel chair - they can't ask you if you need it, rather they accommodate you.

If they try to take your cane, ask for a wheelchair to be provided.  When they say no sticks or poles, I think it's a racial issue they are still hung up on. But they probably mean don't bring stupid selfie sticks.   Just don't bring a 5 foot piece of tree  with crystals and feathers hanging  off it. I think it would be nice, but they might fear you will cast a spell....

Yes you can bring a cane. Be nice & you may get few hugs too.

What race is associated with sticks and poles?

Based on the jamband scene's history of fractious racial tensions with younger people and people of color I'm gonna go with either (a) black people, (b) millennials or (c) both.

You actually think that they'll hassle you for using a cane?

The hollow, two-piece kind?

They hold nine whippets apiece, if memory serves.

They might for the whippets?

My bad. The whippets were concealed in crutches.
