The NFL’s most expensive stadiums for hotdogs & beer: Ranked

2024’s NFL season kicked off when the Baltimore Ravens faced reigning champions the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on September 5, and fans paid an average of $16 to fuel up to cheer on their team.

The worst news is, that’s nowhere near the most expensive NFL Stadium. In fact, Arrowhead Stadium only ranks 15th on our list.

The prices vary so wildly, that some stadiums are charging the same prices for a single beer that others are charging for food combos.

With the most expensive football stadiums all being on the West Coast, fans in different parts of the country are certainly saving money, but not by much according to the data.

Are you a baseball fan? Well, you don’t have it much better. The average cost of a beer at the 30 Major League Baseball stadiums is $6.98. The cheapest brews this season were at Denver’s Coors Field ($3.00), Toronto’s Rogers Center ($4.44), and Anaheim’s Angel Stadium ($4.50)

The most expensive suds are at Nationals Stadium in Washington, D.C., where one brew costs an eye-watering $14.99. Meanwhile, the average cost of a hot dog at MLB stadiums was $5.32, compared with $6.37 in the NFL. 

No matter what your sport is, it looks like catching the game at home with a six-pack and a pizza delivery doesn’t sound too bad after all.
