Donna and I showed up at the stadium with tickets we had purchased for another Immanuel Lutheran Church outing after all these years. We were unaware you could not bring most purses, or any bag bigger than a small fanny pack into the stadium. I had placed a sweatshirt in an Audubon Field Bag I had just received a few days prior to the Friday night game. I was told I could take it back to my car, or put it in a locker there at the entrance. I went over to look at the locker, and you had to be able to scan a q-code in order to use one (for a fee of $10). My flip phone cannot scan anything. I asked if there were any cash options, and was told no. The field bag had come in a flat envelope about the size of a sheet of paper. When I first received it, I did not believe it could be the bag, the envelope was so small. It was the sweatshirt that gave the bag bulk. I took my sweatshirt out, and started to approach the security wand area while trying to fold the bag in order to show that folded back to its original size, I could fit it into the sweatshirt pocket. The woman who had originally denied my (with the bag) entry came to that area to let me know she had already told me I could not take the bag in. She would not even listen to the fact that empty the bag could be fit into a pocket smaller than the little basket I had just place my keys into. So, I asked to see a manager, and was told to stand over by the wall. I had not yet realized Donna had been told her purse (small by most standards) was too big also. Once I found that out, after telling the manager the situation, I said just give us a refund on our tickets and we will simply go home. The manager tried to justify their behavior with the excuse that these had been the rules for three years. I explained we had not been there for five years. Now I know it had been almost nine years. He also told me every other stadium had similar rules, specifically naming MSU, my alma mater, as an example. I had no intention of going to any MSU stadium these days because of the cost. But he unwittingly added one more negative to my experiences at MSU in the last decade indicating they were becoming more technology oriented, and less people oriented. The one positive at the Lugnuts was another security woman who stayed with us until the manager came. When he said he could not refund our money, we would have to go to the box office for that, she walked us over there and intervened so we would not have to stand in a long line and explain everything all over again.
