Costco Fans Will Be Shocked at this NFL Team’s Hot Dog Price

The price tag on NFL tickets sometimes seems excessive. But there’s another aspect of game day that is going to ruin your wallet: concessions. Fans arriving to cheer on their favorite teams are greeted by rising food and drink prices that make you wonder why you didn’t eat at home first. Your snacks can cost more than your daily food budget — which is tough, because there’s nothing quite like a crisp cup of beer and some tasty treats while you’re cheering in the sun. Suddenly, scoring points isn’t the only high-stakes game in the stadium — it’s affording to enjoy it. (Here are the football teams that boomers love the most.)

To identify the NFL teams with the most and least expensive concession prices, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed data compiled by the NFL Team Marketing Report 2023. Teams are ranked on the reported sale price of a 16-ounce beer and a hot dog at their home stadium during the 2023 regular season. In the case of a tie, the team with the higher average ticket sale price during the 2023 season ranks higher. All ticket and concession price data is from the 2023 TMR. We also included supplemental data on stadium capacity and home game attendance from ESPN and BetMGM.

Why Is This Important? 

Football teams are America’s most successful sports teams, and they need consistent revenue streams to become worth billions of dollars. Many teams get that from TV rights, sponsorships, partnerships, and streaming deals. However, much of a team’s income is also from concessions, which has become a huge money maker. Concession prices have steadily risen over the last two decades.

Using data from Statista, we can see that the average concession stand price in 2006 in the NFL once stood at $5.70 for a beer, $3.64 for a hot dog, and $3.35 for a soft drink. Fast forward to 2023, beer has jumped to $8.81, $6.11 for a hot dog, and $5.47 for a soft drink. This equals a 42% price increase for beer, 50% for a hot dog, and 48% for a soft drink. It’s a tough position for fans. On one hand, it makes attending games expensive and cost-exclusive. But as teams make more money, they boost the local economy with jobs, additional entertainment venues, and even more sponsorships — so, consider this the plus side?
