You may want to read The Bill of Rights - the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. It's all about individual rights, vs. the power of government.

THEY have the "individual right" to choose how their property is used. THEY have the "individual right" to decree "no public entertainment for now" and THEY have the "individual right" to tell Gator's that they're breaking the rules.
The government isn't doing that. The owner of the property is doing that.

I'm not sure why you're making that comment to me. I was responding to a person who implied that the Constitution was really just about stating the powers of each branch of government, when in fact it's much more than that. It's clearly a document that spells out individual rights, and there's no dispute about that.
Now, as to your response, you seem to give "THEY" seemingly unlimited power over any business that rents on the property. If the contract between a business and TV provides the authority of TV to curtail music as such, then that's perfectly within the language of the agreed upon contract. A company that signs such a contract must abide by TV's decrees on that agreed upon language.
But that's where it ends. No property owners get to just make up rules on a whim that haven't been legally agreed to beforehand. Private property does not in any way confer that power. It's not a right.
