Sawhorse
Situation:
The proposed plan includes an outdoor grandstand with a maximum capacity of 750 people. Therefore three (3) exits are required and each exit would need to connect to a public way using a "maintainable" surface. There are a few small buildings typical of public baseball fields.
Local codes: 2006 IBC and 2000 NFPA.
Question:
Can you think of how I could allow only one large/wide exit through the control building (ticket booth and concession stand) with the other two exits being gates equipped with panic bars that lead to the right and left foul-ball areas but are still contained within the 10 acre fenced-in area?
The design concept is that additional exits could not be staffed for security. There would be nobody at second and third exits to ensure that kids are not letting their friends sneak in and out to/from the parking lot.
Any advice is appreciated. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards allowing 2nd and 3rd exits to egress into the large open areas of grass.
Thanks
