BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — It's football season and a new study is out that ranks the most affordable stadiums across the National Football League based on the cost of tickets, parking, beer and hot dogs.
According to the study by NJ.BET, the Buffalo Bills have the second most affordable general admission tickets in the league at $101.64. The league average is $120.93.
The study also found Highmark Stadium offers the sixth cheapest beer prices in the league at $7.75. That is $1.05 cheaper than the league average of $8.80.
NOTE: Many Bills fans have questioned where these beer prices came from. We asked the author of the article and received this response:
"I took a closer look at how the FanCostIndex ranks pricing for beer at each stadium and the beer prices for each team/stadium are based on the least expensive, regularly priced beer available at multiple points of sale within each stadium. I was also able to find the ounces and price per ounce for each least expensive beer (the pricing at Highmark Stadium was for the least expensive 12 oz. beer)." - Collin Czarnecki, NJ.BET
Here are the cheapest beer prices, according to NJ.BET:
- #1. Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, Detroit Lions, New York Jets, New York Giants ($5.00)
- #2. Houston Texans, Cincinnati Bengals ($6.00)
- #3. Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Commanders ($7.00)
- #4. Cleveland Browns ($7.50)
- #5. Baltimore Ravens ($7.63)
- #6. Buffalo Bills ($7.75)
- #8. Denver Broncos ($8.50)
- #9. Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts ($9.00)
- #10. Pittsburgh Steelers ($9.55)
After fans factor in a general admission ticket, parking, a hot dog and a beer, a Bills game experience will cost fans an average of $150.39. That's well below the league average of $167.49.
