Umm, I think it depends upon the severity of the allergy. If the child is airborne reactive to peanut protein, then the answer would be a definite "no". If the child has a history of anaphylaxis to peanuts, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable bringing him or her to a major league baseball game.
Obviously, if you did decide to bring a peanut allergic child to a major league baseball game, definitely bring an Epi-pen.

It depends on the severity of the allergy. If he only has a reaction when eating peanuts, yes. However, many people who have peanut allergies have them so severely that they can't even breathe the air when peanut or peanut butter is nearby! Then, there is an in between level in which they can breath the air, but will have a bad reaction if they touch anything that has come in contact with peanuts, peanut oil, etc.
If it's an eating-only allergy, then don't worry. If its' the breathing kind, don't take him. If it's the touching kind, it may be okay--just clean off his chair before he sits,and it may be safest for him to wear gloves when coming in.

Yes, he or she can. But when they sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game" and they sing the part "buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks," tell them to pass on the peanuts and cracker jacks (they have peanuts in them, too). A major league baseball game in no place to go into anaphylactic shock! Play ball!

Unless they have askin reaction, oh course! Even if they do, jsut stay away from them and watch what you eat. The game is about the game, not the peanuts :). If you are seriously worried about it, though, do take an epipen just in case.

depends how serious the reaction is, usually most people have to actually eat the peanut for a problem to occur.
why not go and take the epipen so you don't have to worry

The real question is why are you relying on strangers with an internet connection to be allergy experts? this is why we have doctors. Consult them. Besides, you should know the severity of your child's allergy anyway.
You know there's a problem when someone begins their answer with the word "Ummm..." or their source is "Their Mom"
