I appreciate Tacoma Dome’s attempt to accommodate a large group of Deaf and hard of hearing people to a talk hosted at their venue. However, there were several accessibility failures like the choice of seating for the Deaf and hard of hearing guests. Either the section was too far away where Deaf and hard of hearing people could not read the captions on the broadcast or the interpreters were not on platforms and didn’t have appropriate lighting on them making it hard for Deaf signers to see them. I am only giving them three stars due to their good communication skills during the accommodation request process and choice of qualified performance interpreters. All of the interpreters they hired were very qualified! Tacoma Dome has a long ways to go to perfect their accessibility offerings to Deaf and hard of hearing guests. I hope they will work on making improvements.
