New Jersey § 2a:53a-44
Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 2a:53a-44, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 2a:53a-44.
The Legislature recognizes that baseball stadium owners and operators have a duty
to provide protected seating to spectators who, seeking to avoid the risk of injury,
desire protection. However, the Legislature also recognizes that persons who attend professional baseball
games may be injured as a result of the risks inherent in being a spectator at such
games. The Legislature further finds that attendance at such professional baseball games
is a family and community based activity to be encouraged. Moreover, the State derives economic benefit from spectators attending professional
baseball games. Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to encourage attendance at professional
baseball games. Limiting the civil liability of those who own professional baseball teams and those
who own the stadiums where professional baseball games are played will help contain
costs, thereby keeping ticket prices affordable.
