This section is included in your selections.

(1) No beer may be sold or dispensed to the public on or within any publicly owned convention facilities, publicly owned recreation facilities, or any privately owned sports arenas designed to accommodate more than five thousand (5,000) persons, except by the holder of a Class “E” retail license for such premises or by an operator, manager, food service licensee or employee of such holder. For the purpose of this chapter, “premises” shall not include separately licensed businesses operating within such facilities, which businesses may be subject to other beer and/or alcoholic beverage control requirements.

(2) A Class “E” beer license shall entitle the licensee to sell beer for consumption on publicly owned convention facilities, publicly owned recreation facilities or on privately owned sports arenas designed to accommodate more than five thousand (5,000) persons; provided, however, that no such Class “E” license shall be issued for the sale of beer for consumption on said facilities unless the prospective licensee shall first obtain a concession contract from the public body owning the facility. Under this section no beer shall be dispensed or allowed in original containers, but must first be emptied into suitable temporary containers; and no person under the age of twenty-one (21) years of age may sell or serve beer. With the exception of privately leased suites within the facility, all sales and deliveries under this section shall be made directly to the consumer.

(3) All beer or other alcoholic beverages dispensed within the facility shall be dispensed only by the license holder or its operator, manager, food service licensee or employee. No beer or other alcoholic beverage sold under this license shall be removed from inside the facility except by the license holder or its operator, manager, food service licensee or employee operating in the course of business.

(4) It is unlawful for a Class “E” licensee to sell or dispense beer in original containers or to store or allow storage of beer or other alcoholic beverages in privately leased suites of the premises unless such dispensing facilities are securely locked and access to the contents is restricted by the licensee to persons twenty-one (21) years of age or older who have duly rented such private suites in which such dispensing facility is located.
