[Craig]

Does anyone know if it's posted?
I know at some concerts they wand people coming in but what about other types of shows/events?

I'm thinking about taking my 5 year old to the monster trucks this weekend.

Every time I've walked by during an event, it looked like they had metal detectors going.

We are going to the Monster Jam this weekend. We have been many times in the past and Jeremy has carried all times....good thing because a hobo scared us once!

Rivercenter is a gov't building. Don't think you can carry there.

I don't think it's a government building but I do think during rock concerts they have a big sign out front that says all bags are subject to search and (maybe) no firearms. But it's hard to remember. If I'm there it's probably because I'm working and I wouldn't be going in the front door.

My advice is carry until you reach a metal detector/wand/sign. Then turn around and put your gun up if you need to. I keep a can of Freeze +P chemical spray in my truck for situations when I have to put my gun up.

Why would it matter if it was a Gov. building?

You are correct in the fact that the building is owned by a governmental entity (the City of Baton Rouge, Parish of East Baton Rouge) - now, back to why... what does that have to do with the relation to whether or not you can carry there? none the law has bee quoted for you once already in this thread.
