or employee of such holder. For the purposes of this Title,
"premises" shall not include separately licensed businesses

sell beer for consumption on publicly owned recreation facilities

designed to accommodate more than five thousand persons;
provided, however, that no Class E license shall be issued for
the sale of beer for consumption on publicly owned recreation

concession contract from the public body owning the recreation
facility involved. Under this Class E license, no beer shall be
dispensed in original containers in areas accessible to the
general public nor shall beer in original containers be allowed
in areas accessible to the general public, but must first be
emptied into suitable temporary containers; and no person under

the exception of privately leased suites, all sales and

open to the general public.
D. All beer or other alcoholic beverages which are
dispensed within a Class E facility, except within a privately
leased suite as defined hereinabove, shall be dispensed only by
the Class E licensee or its operator, manager, food service
licensee or employee. No alcoholic beverages, except for beer,
shall be dispensed at any location within a Class E facility
other than within privately leased suites as defined hereinabove
or within other privately rented or privately occupied space
which is not open to the general public. No beer or other
alcoholic beverage shall be removed from within the building of a

publicly -owned or privately -owned sports arena or convention
facility holding a Class E license except by the Class E licensee
or its operator, manager, food service licensee, or employee
operating in the course of business under the Class E license.
E. It is unlawful and shall constitute an offense of
strict liability for any Class E licensee, operator, manager,
food service licensee, or employee operating under a Class E
license to provide beer or any other alcoholic beverage to any
person under the age of twenty-one years or to hire or allow or
permit any person under twenty-one years of age to serve beer or
any other alcoholic beverage for consumption on the premises. It
is unlawful and shall constitute an offense of strict liability
for any person under the age of twenty-one years to drink,
accept, or have in his or her possession any beer or other
alcoholic beverage in such licensed premises.
F. Any person violating any provision of this section
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, except that any person
under the age of twenty-one years who serves beer or other
alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises or who
drinks, accepts, or has in his or her possession any beer or
other alcoholic beverage in the licensed premises shall be deemed
guilty of an infraction.
G. It is unlawful for a licensee of a Class E retail
license to sell beer in original containers from multiple beer
dispensing facilities located in privately leased suites of the
Class E premises or to allow storage of beer or other alcoholic
beverages within such dispensing facilities located in privately

facilities are securely locked and access to the contents of such
facilities is restricted by the licensee to suite lessees twenty-
