My wife just won some tickets to a Stars game ( home game )i think they play in the AA , is it posted? Never been there , so I`d like to know ahead of time.
Thanks ....

If the Stars are a professional sports team, that alone will make carry (into the stadium) no-go. Shouldn't affect leaving your gun(s) in the car, but do you want to risk having it(them) stolen from the parking lot?

Ok , Ive never been so go to know.

The Dalllas Stars are in the NHL, a professional sports team, so you cannot carry.

These are professional sporting events and should be taught as off limits in your CHL classes.

Additionally, it might be worth noting to the OP that the AA Center is always posted no matter what is going on there. Even if it was a Pecan Pie cook off that would not normally be off limits to CHL, the AA enter is posted 30.06.

And it should be noted that the Center is owned by the City of Dallas, making the 30.06 ineffective.

(2) on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional

the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used
in the event;

But you're good to go at the Pecan Pie Cookoff, unless the City Council decides to have a meeting at the AA center at the same time.

Yet, they always seem to have metal detectors and people with wands at the entrances, even during non-sporting events like concerts.

Yup and the following is from their website:

I had season tickets to the Stars last season and never saw a 30.06 anywhere in the AAC. However, they do have metal detectors and wands and, as it is a professional sporting event, I never went armed. My car did get broken into one night while I was at the game.

I have observed this as well. I guess if you were able to sneak your weapon through (other than to a professional or school sporting event), you would not be able to be criminally charged if later discovered.

Hmmm... a very interesting and significant edit took place in this thread.
