    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.

        oh yeah no shot the stadium would risk losing that. the dude is kind of an idiot for thinking the money he spent on seats would compare to what the stadium earns in beer money as a whole. must be new money. old money knows how to exploit people and stay in power; new money just exploits and throws it away

      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.
