Oh come on. Her dad said it would be fine. You’re saying you wouldn’t have trusted your parent at 13?

Is OP the teenage daughter, trying to get everyone to agree that her father should be responsible for replacing it?

Nope! OP is sitting on her quiet patio drinking wine while dad and daughter have a fun night out (baggate notwithstanding).
Cheers!

I would not expect a 13 year old to anticipate the bizarre security theater of professional stadiums. This is on dad.

Exactly. So, if your spouse said it was good to go you would go re-read the policy?

Where did i say i was buying the bag? I will let my husband know my stance on it tomorrow. Unless he has apologized and offered to make it right before that. Because, yes, this is on him. He advised that it was fine. She should be able to trust him. And when he makes a mistake she should trust that he’ll apologize and make it right.

Sounds like y'all haven't been to a Nats game recently. It's the same policy for baseball games. Get one of those cheap, clear plastic bags for $9.99 on Amazon, you'll use it more than you think. Problem solved.

Why don’t you like your husband? This is on your daughter.

So you’re making the decision for him?

If the dad said it was OK without checking, or without suggesting that she check, it’s on him.

Check eBay for a replacement for the bag. I find exact copies of stuff I’ve lost, broken or had stolen there all the time.

Same. Or Mecari. I have better luck with those two than Poshmark.

Why did security not tell them there are portable lockers?

Dad should replace the bag, right? He was the responsible adult. He advised that it was fine. He was wrong. Honest mistake. But he should replace it. Am I wrong?

And what does security do with those bags? Holiday gifts for their families? Sell? Trash?

—OP

I would say yes, especially if lockers were available and he didn’t have your daughter store the bag there. Was this an expensive bag? How is your daughter?

Not an expensive bag, but much loved and frequently used.
She’s 13.

13? Dad pays 100%. I do think it’s a great lesson going forward of things to be aware of when attending events, especially never bring your favorite items. Too much opportunity to lose a favorite to theft etc. But come on, at 13 you should be able to trust the guidance of your parents. Dad needs to make it right.

+1

If moneys not an issue for your family to replace, he does and apologizes. It becomes a nice moment.
