The University of South Carolina will create a special parking lot

for people with disabilities who attend games at -Brice

Stadium, according to federal officials.

The decision to designate the lot came two years after a fan

complained to the Justice Department that the school wasn't

providing reasonable access to the arena for people with

disabilities.

U.S. Attorney Reginald Lloyd said the university agreed to provide

transportation between the lot and the stadium, which fills with

tens of thousands of fans on game days. The decision was reached

Tuesday, officials said.

Handicapped spaces near the stadium often could not be used because

of the crowds, said Mc, a spokesman for the U.S.

attorney. He said there were such spaces in other lots, but no

transportation to get people from them to the stadium.

Athletics Department spokesman Steve Fink said he had no immediate

comment on the decision.
