I highly doubt it. Not sure if there is an event where you're supposed to carry there. Plus, it's like a regular high school football game so I'd think they'd treat it like you have a firearm on school property.

So, just thinking outloud, I'd say you're not supposed to.

Hopefully someone will step in and give you a factual answer instead of an opinion though

Lucas Oil isn't carry friendly to begin w/, but that is just a rule. Like stated above, since the event is a high school game, I imagine that would be seen as a "school function" and the no carry would be elevated to illegal, the same as carrying to you local high school football game.

 

[cmamath13]

I wouldn't.

thank you for the info
i guess it is best to use common sense and leave it in the car
and not have any issues with the authorities

Yeah that sounds like a bad idea and if caught will probably ruin your day. It's a school function and would be considered the same as a normal high school football game or any school sponsored function on or off school property.

I'll second (or third, or whatever we are up to) the "school function". Felonies are never a good idea.

The "school function" part was removed, but looks like it will be back next year. All they can do is ask you to leave.

FWIW, looks legal to me, I wouldn't want to be the test case though.

Which is the worst test case? Leaving your valuable protection in the car? Then threading the gauntlet to and from the stadium that loudly proclaims "I'm unarmed!" ???
