I'll play 'devil's advocate' and I do NOT know any of what I'm asking about...

Assuming what you say is correct, was there or is there any agreement part of the Comerica Park approval for N number of ADA parking spaces? Comerica was built after ADA became the law.

Or N number of parking spaces, period?

Couldn't the well meaning city say, "You must provide 250 ADA parking spaces". Ilitch asks: "Why?" And the city says because we are demanding it of you before approving..."

Is this analogous to a Dunkin Donuts as part of zoning be required to provide N number of parking spaces of which X must be handicapped parking?
