This usually happens at graduation ceremonies and the like, not ball games.

In some places (e.g., Detroit), the American flag has been removed from municipal buildings lest someone who hates America be offended.

I'm glad to say that I've never seen anyone remain seated or otherwise be disrespectful at any ball game I've been involved with.
C'mon, they don't count. Some Princeton (college) folk are so smart, they are stupid.
