Indeed there is an apparent dichotomy, unless the arena takes measures to ensure nobody entering is armed.  In that case there would be no inconsistency.  The reasons for open carry are deterrence (how many mass killings have taken place where there was a credible deterrent?) and defense.  If prudent measures are taken to ensure none are armed, the reasons disappear.

I hope the arena has good insurance.
