Yes the practice is not to do take it back but it doesn't mean anything legally.

There are actually a few stadiums that do mention on tickets that balls hit in the stands are the property of the fan who catches it. I'm thinking Seattle and maybe San Francisco but it is definitely not on most but rather just a possible few.
