I worked security for a pro baseball stadium. Some guy and his teenage sons had front row season tickets behind home base. The boys were underage and openly drinking alcohol. We went to tell them the kids had to cut it out.
This guy (who was drunk too) throws a fit that we dared tell him what he could do. He starts shouting "do you know how much I pay for these tickets!? My sons can do whatever they want" blah blah blah.
I wave down the security head and he radios for the police to come deal with it. The man and his sons were marched out to boos from the crowd. They were ejected from the game and fined. They potentially lost their season ticket rights too, but I don't know for sure. I never saw them again though.
Nice...
However, poor parents would have likely gone to prison and had their children taken away from them.
But poor parents wouldn't have been in those seats and a large reason we cared so much was the people in those seats were shown on TV each time a player was up to bat.
Good on you, fuck em
Most states allow minors to consume alcohol in some manner if parents are consenting and present. I mostly hearing about that applying at home or in bars and restaurants, but I'm not sure how it works for baseball stadiums.
The stadium required anyone drinking to show valid ID and get a wristband. The city keeps a very tight watch on the stadium following the laws under threat of getting their liquor licence pulled. In this state a liquor licence can be pulled if the facility knowingly allows minors to drink alcohol, even if the guardian of the minor permits it.
Texas allows underage people to drink if they are with their parent, guardian or spouse (if the spouse is 21). However, the establishment can still refuse to serve them. And in fact most places will refuse because the risks are just too high.
