Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?
More specifically, are you ready for some expensive beers? As sports fans already know, drinking a brewski at the old ball game isn't as easy as it used to be, financially speaking. You can still drink until your heart desires at sporting events, but you'll just have to be prepared to groan when you look at your bank statement the next day.
A new study found that drinking at the game is more affordable in some stadiums than it is in others. Team Marketing Report, a sports marketing research firm, laid out the real-time costs that come with being an NFL fan. According to their findings, it's become 7% more expensive to be a follower of the NFL just in the past year, and stadium beer prices have risen 20% year-after-year.
Explanations on
Vine Pair help lay out the numbers a little more clearly:
"New data from the sports marketing company Team Marketing Report reveals the 2023 NFL Fan Cost Index rose by over seven percent year-over-year, with a total cost of attendance at a league average of $631.63.
This season, the data from Team Marketing Report indicates that the smallest beer size at every stadium (a 14.5 ounce serving, on average) ran fans $8.81, or $9.76 per pint — a 20 cent increase year-over-year."
That's the "stadium tax" you've probably heard about before. Sure, beer is expensive at the game, but what are you going to do about it? If you want a beer, you're gonna have to pony up and pay for one.
The research at least put together beer pricing for each stadium, that way you know which ones to visit and which ones to avoid... if you consider yourself a beer connoisseur. While the NFL average for a 16 ounce beer sits just under $10, there are plenty of teams charging more, and a number of team's (doing the Lord's work) and cutting fans some slack:

Shoutout to the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions for serving up 16 ouncers for $6.25. THAT is how it should be. Any beer that costs more than $8 is criminal, in my opinion.
Looks like my favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings, know that eight buckaroos is the most you should hand over for a brewski. SKOL!
