Taking father with dementia to Phillies game

Title is as it says: I'd like to take my declining father to a Phil's game before the season is over. He isn't very mobile but I'm getting him a wheelchair and his incontinence is an issue. Most games look sold out for ADA seats and I got info on the Hall of Fame club which is an option but it's incredibly expensive but I'm willing to eat it to be able to take him one more time. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how I should go about this? I'm already going to hire an aid to come along to help him, my biggest concern is making it to the bathroom.

Finally am all caught up on the manga, some thoughts and some favorite panels of mine. Some spoilers as well.

Before I start: attached are some of my favorite panels throughout the series. Specifically starting with Schierke, her mistress, and all the golems. Just a lovely and peaceful panel despite everything else in the world.

Now I was introduced to Berserk from the Netflix movies every complains about (for good reason) when they originally came out which eventually lead to me watching the 97 series on YouTube. I started the manga in Spring 2022 and unfortunately lost my place in the story until I decided to start rereading from the beginning thanks to the Libby app (having fun isn't hard when you have a library card folks)

Putting aside the elements that drew me to reading Berserk (knights in shining armor, black & white art, a very lengthy story and the incredible fight scenes) I'm glad that Miura developed Guts' character more from being "Too Angry to Die" type antihero character and learning how to rely on the people in his life who he cares for. His flaws are too numerous to list and frankly, they can be forgotten sometimes as you read and see Guts continue on fighting against the evil that plagued Midland. The harshest reminder, in my opinion, of his flaws and every wrong he's done comes crashing back once Casca finally sees him after regaining her sanity. Perhaps one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire story. It blows my mind to look at publish dates and see "The Feast" and the true end of The Golden Age ends the year I was born (96) and Guts' journey of almost 30 fucking years seems to end to him with all his plights and struggles meaning nothing. The Skull Knight's warning was an obvious foreshadowing I was refusing to accept because I just want one good thing to happen to this poor bastard Guts after everything he's been through. Just crazy shit, man. Also, I'd like to note: I know Guts actual journey doesn't take almost 30 years but for Miura to have everything lead to that was just incredible writing. I'd love to know how he planned everything and his writing strategies to writing this epic.
