Game days just wouldn’t be the same without some good eats and drinks. With the return of football season, Betting.com, a sports betting platform, did an analysis of the prices of beer and hot dogs at all 30 NFL stadiums across the country. Their study unveiled the most and least expensive stadiums for beer and hot dogs.
Ford Field: Affordable Hot Dogs and Beer
According to their data, Ford Field is considered one of the more budget-friendly NFL stadiums, where beer starts at $5.00, and a hot dog goes for $6.50. They offer a variety of beer options, including popular choices like Bud Light, Miller Lite, Blue Moon, and craft beers.
Ford Field’s website also mentions a combo meal available for $13.99, which includes a hot dog, chips, and beer. This combo deal can be found at multiple locations, including Streats of Detroit stands, Kickoff Classics on South Club (Section 208), Comerica Gridiron Club – Level 3, and the Snack Zone (Section 117). Also, the Streats of Detroit stands offer gluten-free hot dog buns at the same price.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium earned the title of the most budget-friendly stadium, where beer is priced at $5 and a hot dog costs approximately $2 for game day snacks and drinks.
The study by the betting website also revealed that at Hard Rock Stadium, a typical game-day experience, including tickets, parking, food, and beverages, averages around $134.01. At the home of the Miami Dolphins, the Hard Rock Stadium, fans have the option to enjoy a hot dog for just $4 and a beer for $5.
On the other hand, the report identified SoFi Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers, as the priciest stadium for refreshments, where buying a single beer and a hot dog will set fans back a total of $19, according to the study.

Football fans superstitions
You know that person who stays in the same spot throughout an entire game, and when their team gives up possession they change positions? That’s who we’re talking about. So, when things are going well, they’re practically immobile. They won’t step away for food or even use the bathroom. Why? Because they can’t risk “messing up the flow.” On the other hand, if things are not going as planned, they might wander around the living room persistently in search of a lucky seat where good things could potentially happen. Of course, for some fans, their ritualistic and superstitious behaviors might just be traditions, regardless of whether their team comes out on top or experiences a loss.
From wearing a specific jersey to eating a particular snack, these rituals are believed to bring luck and influence the game. For instance, some fans might have a lucky pre-game routine, like wearing mismatched socks or doing a little victory dance before kickoff. Even food choices play a role, with some fans only eating certain foods while watching the game, like nachos or chicken wings, believing that deviating from this menu might lead to bad luck. It’s these quirky and often amusing superstitions that add an extra layer of excitement to the football fan experience.
Take a look at a few of these superstition-filled traditions that football fans have been sharing on Reddit.
