[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, follow up question:
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?

Agree, yes, he should replace it. It was his job to check and understand the bag policy. Also, he should have figured out about the lockers (they usually tell you when your bag doesn't comply). My guess is that they did tell him about the lockers, he balked at having to pay for that on top of the cost of the tickets and any food/drinks he paid for, and instead threw the bag away. Which is idiotic because while the lockers are definitely overpriced, they are probably less expensive than the backpack.

(this is 100% something my dad would have done when I was a teenager -- dads get mad/annoyed/cheap and make dumb choices sometimes)[/quote]

NP here. We drove to a game about 10 days ago. I wasn’t aware of the policy but carried in a purse that had passed inspection at the Phillies Park a few weeks ago and fits within the constraints (having now seen them above). They told me I couldn’t bring it in and did not offer a locker. I had to carry an epi-pen, keys, wallet and phone by hand. Fortunately DH could take two of those items because I didn’t have enough pockets. It’s a BS policy. [/quote]

See, according to their website, bags for medical supplies are supposed to be exempt.

I'm going to a game Saturday for the first time in ages and I'm worried. I'll be taking the metro so I can't run it back to the car. I'm a T1D so I have supplies I have to bring with me plus I also have an epipen for an allergy.

Phillies Park isn't the same as Nats Park. Different MLB parks can have more stringent policies, especially being in DC. Plus it can depend widely on whoever is working at the gate you enter. I am season ticket holder and attend about 20 games a year. Once this summer I was carrying a few unopened plastic bottles of water for the kids who were with me, and had them in a white plastic bag. The security person told me I couldn't take the white plastic bag in, but then another one said:"here lady, use this plastic bag to carry the waters in and throw that white one away" and offered me a clear Nats plastic bag that they give at the team store. He didn't have to do that, and I had no idea I couldn't bring in a white small plastic bag to carry waters in, but I happened upon a nice security person. I got lucky. Otherwise we would have just had to carry them or I would have put them in my plastic see through stadium bag (get one, they're ugly but useful).
