SB 770 Maryland Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Frederick County – Alcoholic Beverages – Stadium License

This bill updates Maryland's laws to allow stadium license holders in Frederick County to sell liquor for on-site consumption, expanding their current ability to sell only beer and wine. The legislation specifically authorizes the sale of hard liquor in plastic or paper containers at the stadium during events, provided it is consumed on the premises or sold directly to individuals present. Additionally, the bill increases the annual fee for this license from $2,000 to $2,500. These changes apply exclusively to the owner of a professional baseball team franchise operating a stadium in Frederick County.
