I don't have the answer but I've always found sporting venues to be really strict about rules. I know usually for smokers you have to exit the stadium entirely for a smoke. Don't know what the rules would be about vape though.
Can't speak about Dodgers Stadium, but I have vaped numerous times at Wrigley.
I didn't hide my actual vaping, but I DID do something of a stealth exhale. But, no issues.
Here at Royals stadium and Chiefs their website clearly marks all forms tobacco is prohibited unless in designated smoking areas INCLUDING electronic cigarettes. They classify electronic cigarettes as a form of tobacco. SO, it's banned here unless you go to smokers spot.
I am of the opinion that while you know its vaper and he knows it vaper not everyone knows it is vaper. I try to air on the side of the respect to unknowing person. Raise awareness in the right light. If you stand there acting all haughty demanding you have the right cause its not smoking.... people will see it in a negative light and be offended or treat as if you are smoking.
I too vaped at Wrigley last month. I just got up and went down to the consourse. One employee saw me but didn't say anything. If you got something small you could always stealth vape. Just hold it in your mouth/lungs a little longer.
Having tried a white cig-sized battery everyone's eyes turn to you if you are vaping in a non-smoking area (and the explanation that follows does not always turn right). I didn't know some areas already included e-cigarettes as a form of tobacco. That makes no sense at all.
At Target Field here in Minnesota, smoking & e-cig use is prohibited on the grounds of the stadium. There is no designated smoking area(s) anymore. You literally need to leave the stadium and cross the street to smoke/vape. I'm sure people do not completely follow this but that's what is in place as far as regulations go.
Dodger Stadium is a smoke-free facility with designated smoking areas near the entry gates. Please see a Dodger Stadium representative at the entry gates for access to these areas. Electronic cigarettes are subject to the same restrictions.
Don't know about ballparks or other sporting venues but I went to the zoo here in Indy with my daughter's Girl Scout Troupe and vaped all day. Even in inside exhibits. No one said a word to me about it. Got a few strange looks. Even a security officer asked me if he could look at it then said he had to quit smoking and was looking for an alternative. And that was that.
