Islander games will include 86 parking spaces for visitors with disabilities, team and UBS Arena officials said. The revised parking plan comes after a season ticket holder appealed to the state after an initial plan put the nearest accessible lot nearly a mile away.

The new parking plan, in compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, will include 50 parking spaces in the diamond and silver lots closest to the arena.
