JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Because of the massive renovations at EverBank Field, handicap seats were removed, limiting access for disabled fans.
The city has since entered a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice to fix the problem by the end of 2016. First Coast News learned Wednesday that they finished a year ahead of schedule.
"To me this is some kind of discrimination against people in wheelchairs," said Lisa Russel told First Coast News two years ago.
Russel was upset because her son, who has cerebral palsy, was not able to get a handicap and companion seat to see the Jags play.
