I appologize if you took that as an insult. You had quoted the MCL and not the AG opinion and I didn't know if you had read it. I still think just the stands would be a PFZ not the whole strip. Now the law says "a" structure seating 2500 or more. Milan does seat that many but not on a single structure so do you think they can total multiple structures to qualify?
Thank you sir!
Once you have a structure that holds more than 2500 seats, the question where does the PFZ line get drawn. Is it at the entrance to the seats? What about the seperate "stand-alone" stands out at the end of the track that only have 1000 seats each, are those exempt in and by themselfs?
There is no real definition of structures in the mcl or the opinion i can find, I may have just not see it, but one definition is "something constructed".
Is not the whole raceway "something constructed" and can the WHOLE raceway seat more that 2500. If the answer is yes, I think the whole ENTERTAINMENT FACILITY now becomes a PFZ.
quote from the opinion
"The term "facility" is defined as something built or constructed to perform some particular function"
Since according to the opinion the Entertainment facility is constructed then the question is
can it hold more than 2500 seats, if the answer is YES IMO the whole Entertainment facility now becomes a PFZ.
I dont think you need 2500 seats in one stand or even near each other, I think it would just have to be 2500 overall for it to be a PFZ.
We have a bandstand here in Monroe, it has no seats but it does have a lot of grass in front of it on a hill that was build expressly for the bandstand. Can it sit more than 2500, I don't think so but for this post lets say yes. If you take the opinion at its word, the bandstand and the hill would be the entertainment facility, the hill was constructed thus could be considered a "structure" and it could SIT more that 2500 on it. Could it be a PFZ, well if you use their definition it was constructed, thus its a structure for sitting and some may consider it a PFZ. Since its not fenced, one would have to question where does the entertainment facility end.
I would like to be wrong on this! And I am surely no expert on MCL's and AG opinions
but when some LEOs DONT even know OCing is legal and still belive if you have a CPL you must CC how can we expect them to know where PFZ start and end in a Entertainment Facility?
