HB 835 Maryland House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Charles County - Alcoholic Beverages - Baseball Stadium License - Alterations

HB 835 modifies alcohol license rules for baseball stadiums in Charles County. It allows stadiums to serve beer, wine, and liquor in plastic, paper, or non-glass containers (except in enclosed dining areas where glass is permitted) and restricts where alcohol can be consumed - patrons may carry drinks only within stadium seating areas, but liquor must stay in designated dining zones. The bill applies only to licensed stadium operators (like team owners or county-contracted concessionaires) and sets an annual $2,200 license fee. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
