I would never take my kids to sit in the bleachers (at least not at their current ages), but anywhere else in the ballpark seems totally fine to me. To each his own, of course, but I don't see it -- and I'm a pretty protective parent.
As a side note, I've been to many ballparks over the years, and I have never seen a rowdier baseball crowd than at Pro Player (or whatever the name of the place the Marlins play is called). Within 10 minutes of me finding my seat, I saw a guy scream, "YOU'RE A FUCKING ASSHOLE!" to another guy, while holding his 7 or 8 year old son's hand and another guy turn around and say, "If you bump me in the back with your knee again, I'm going to smack your wife!" No joke.
I've seen bad behavior at Wrigley before, but nothing approaching the evening I spent at the Cubs/Marlins game. Not even close. As far as the food there, I ordered a hot dog, and it was served on a sesame seed hot dog bun. So I'm not sure what else there is to say...
