Joseph Lee, 62, said club employees told him in September he would not be allowed to use the handicapped spots near the grandstand and would instead have to park in a dirt lot, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported Monday. Advertisement Lee's lawsuit says he heard "scuttlebutt" that he was being denied handicapped parking because "the boss," identified as "Mr. Brubaker" in court papers, is "cleaning things up" and didn't like the look of his 1991 E20 Supervan. The suit, which alleges a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, is seeking a minimum $4,000 in damages.
