Isn't the Toyota Center property owned by either the City of Houston or Harris County? The first, last, and only time I was there was for a sporting event, so I paid no attention to signage.

Everything is covered there and it's, for the most part, pretty straight forward. If the stadium is on the campus of an educational institution you wouldn't be able to cary there anyway regardless of the type of event...

Actually, if the stadium is not enclosed, I don't think it would be prohibited outside of a school function or sporting event. Carrying is prohibited on the premises of a school, per PC46.03(a)(1), but it goes on to say that the definition of "premises" to be used in this section is the one found in PC46.035, per PC46.03(c)(1). Premises is defined in PC46.035(f)(3): "Premises" means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area. While it does not specifically address stadiums, I would think that a stadium that is not enclosed would not constitute a building.

As the saying goes, IANAL and IMHO.
