Well, this thread took a weird turn...(as per usual...)

To begin, I will just say that I don't buy anything at the Dome or McMahon (also have Stamps seats) because I refuse to pay the same amount for one beer that could get me at least a six pack at the liquor store. (Or at least a couple bottles of decent craft beer.)

Anyways. Speaking as a person with a nut allergy, I would just like to say that I don't need others "advocating" or "protecting" me. I understand that I am in the minority of the population and that it is ultimately up to me to watch out for myself. If sitting beside someone who is eating nuts affects me, I am able to either (a) ask politely for them to reconsider or (b) move. No big deal, really. Ultimately, I am responsible for myself, as I should be.

Also, me having a nut allergy is in no way equivalent to someone requiring wheelchair access to the game. These are two very different accommodations that are not comparable, in the sense that I have options that someone requiring ramps and/or special seating does not. I understand (and appreciate!) the compassion, but let's be honest here: one circumstance is certainly more significant than the other.
