If some people sit in areas with a high propensity of foul balls - they know this risk before hand - and still choose to accept it.

What is the risk management solution other than telling customers to avoid liquor? Here, the stadiums have a clear choice and they're choosing to ignore it. Again, it is not punting all liability to the stadiums. It's only making them liable for avoidable risk such as a 100 mph line drive. They know the risk, have a clear solution, and have chosen not to deal with it. That's like coordinating a marathon, knowing theres a major pothole and choosing not to fix it, then forcing the runner to assume all liability because the runner signed a waiver.
