Hi Ken,

I went to see Queen + Paul Rogers in March of 2006 at the DCU Center 
(formally the Worcester Centrum) in Massachusetts. I didn't have any 
problems except for the distance between the parking garage and the 
building. My Dad and I had to walk or in my case roll about three football 
fields to get to the front entrance.

I've also been to see various performances at the Dunkin' Donuts Center 
(Providence Civic Center) and the Tweeter Center. They were both very 
accessible.
