Doesn't matter if the keys are in the cart or not by law it's an open container in a motor vehicle on a public roadway. At the Polo Grounds you CAN sit in the cart with an open container because it's private property however if the cart is moving and you have an open container at the Polo Grounds you CAN be ticketed. I didn't make this up it was posted in a recent POA paper from a meeting with the Sheriff.
