A Nebraska man is suing the University of Nebraska-Lincoln over what he says is the university's practice of closing down handicapped parking stalls on campus during Nebraska home football games.
Richard Norton Jr. alleges in the lawsuit filed Thursday that he was not allowed to park in a handicapped stall outside of the University of Nebraska State Museum last year during a home football game. Norton says he was told the handicapped spots were being held for university donors.
Norton, who suffers from a physical disability, says he was forced to park several blocks away, and the walk caused him extreme pain in his legs and feet for which he had to seek medical treatment.
Norton's lawsuit says the university's policy violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.
