A $10 million lawsuit filed by a fan against the San Francisco 49ers alleges the team violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, claiming security kicked him and his service dog out of Levi’s Stadium, causing the fan to have a seizure.
James Hilburn says in the lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court Jan. 7 that he had no problems getting into the stadium for the 49ers-Arizona Cardinal’s game on Nov. 29, but that once he was inside, police and security personnel surrounded him, telling him that his Alaskan malamute, Bear, wasn’t allowed to be there.
The stadium security’s directive to Hilburn appears to be in violation of Levi’s Stadium animals policy, which permits service animals.
