What charges are to be expected for someone sneaking in the National Championship Game @ the Superdome?

I'm trying to discourage my son from making a bad decision. Please advise of any and all options I can present to him on why he shouldn't. Basically the consequences of his actions and if Im going to have to bail him out of jail if he continues with pursuit without my blessings

Why on earth would you throw away perfectly good money by bailing him out - especially after warning him of the consequences? Sometimes hard headed people don't learn until they GET a consequence. If you want to discourage him, tell him if he follows this course of action, you WON'T be bailing him out.

As far as actual charges, it depends on exactly how he gets in, who catches him, even what's in his pockets could make a difference. Could be anything from simple burglary (since it is an authorized entry to a structure) which carries a $2k fine and/or up to 12 years in prison (see RS 24:62) to defrauding a merchant, all the way up to a violation of one of the many Homeland Security statutes, in which case I wouldn't like to guess the outcome. (Better just hope he doesn't get caught sneaking into a section where some VIP like a Senator is sitting).

Sneaking into any place is trespassing, at the very least, which is a crime. Conviction of a crime means having a criminal record. Thats not even mentioning what more serious charges could be looming, as aardvarc posted.
