Ringling safety code violations cited for arena exits and aisles
A Deming memo documents multiple safety violations at the Ringling Circus arena including improper aisle widths, backs on bleachers, lack of cross aisles, dead end aisles, noncompliant exit doors, and storage of flammables under stands. The memo urges immediate action and direct outside exits from top levels, with mayoral notification dated Feb 2 1976 and a Brown office follow up noting the circus had not yet acted as of Tuesday.
