Pepsi Center will provide captioning after Denver woman’s lawsuit claimed Americans with Disabilities Act violations

The owner of the Pepsi Center settled a federal lawsuit brought by a Denver woman who accused the stadium of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing captioning during games.

Kroenke Arena Company, which owns the Pepsi Center, will provide open captioning during non-concert events including Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets and Colorado Mammoth games, starting with the Av’s 2018 preseason games in the fall.

This means people with hearing impairments — and everyone else — will be able to read things such as player introductions and which players are sent to the penalty box as the words are broadcast over the public-address system.
