Actually, they're not affiliated in any way with MLB. The American Association, after all, is officially called the "American Association of Independent Professional Baseball". There are currently eight independent baseball leagues in America that have no ties to MLB. The Texas Collegiate League, among other summer leagues for college players, is not professional, even though the level of play and fan experience are pretty similar.

As for the OP's question, I brought this up recently: http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 9&p=395404" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The law, as written, only makes it illegal to carry in the "premises" of a professional sporting event, under the PC 46.035(f)(3) definition, which means a "building or portion of a building".

I don't know about LaGrave Field; if you have to pass through a building to get to the seats, I'd call it off limits. If it's all outdoors, you'd be legal.

Disclaimer: this is only my unprofessional analysis. This is an instance where you, and you alone, can determine your willingness to test whether black-letter law will be upheld as written.
I would very much doubt you could get in anywhere in LaGrave field and be considered "legal" it's like a normal small ballpark, the stands built up from 3rd base to 1st base, then a little bit of bleachers out in right field, I don't think anyone would not call the built up stands a building, and you have to pass through there to get to any other portion of the field. I wouldn't carry there, just leave it in the car.
