While we know that the cost of NFL tickets seems to get more expensive each year, what many fans want to know is how much is going to cost to eat and drink once I get there? Each year, new data highlights just how much it costs fans to experience an NFL game in person. The latest analysis from Action Network breaks down the cost, estimating what it takes for a family of four to attend a game at every stadium — including ticket prices, parking, concessions, and merchandise. Based on their report, here’s the breakdown of the cost of a beer and a hot dog at every NFL Stadium

Arizona Cardinals | State Farm Stadium

  • Price of a Beer: $5.3
  • Price of a Hot Dog: $4.3

When you factor in variables such as tickets, parking, merchandise, and the rest, the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium ($1,063.30) stands out for affordability compared to the NFL average.

  • Price of a Beer: $11.14
  • Price of a Hot Dog: $7.3

Both beer and hot dog prices stayed the same this year at Hard Rock Stadium, something that the team’s fans can love just as much as a winning record.

Both the price of a beer and a hot dog went down in 2025. It’s worth noting the beer dropped in size: from 20 ounces to 12 ounces.

Neither the price of a brewski nor a hot dog increased at Chiefs games this season. If Taylor Swift and her fans keep showing up to games next season, though, it seems like that might change.

  • Price of a Beer: $8
  • Price of a Hot Dog: $4

In terms of overall costs of taking the family to a game, the Patriots are the fifth-most expensive team in the NFL. But the high cost can’t be blamed on the 20-ounce beers that go for $8 or the hot dogs, which are cheaper than the $5.87 league average.

  • Price of a Hot Dog: $7.4

The beers at Lambeau cost above average, especially with this season’s 50-cent increase. Hot dogs went down in price by 50 cents, but that may just be because most people buy bratwursts anyway.
