According to dozens of surveys we’ve come across, football is the most popular professional sport in America. For example, the 2022 Statista Global Consumer Survey found that 74.5% of U.S. sports fans follow football. Coming in second place was basketball with 56.6%, and in third was baseball with 50.5% of those surveyed saying they follow the sport.
Perhaps that popularity helps explain why some fans likely have to tap their savings accounts to attend an NFL game. Earlier this year, the website Pickwise took a look at how much it costs for a family of four to attend a single game, purchasing the least expensive seats in the stadium. Included in their calculations were the cost of four tickets, four hot dogs, two small beers, two small sodas, two souvenir hats, and parking.
The least expensive gameday package was at Paycor Stadium to watch the Cincinnati Bengals play. The most expensive was in Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium to watch the Raiders. Of the 32 NFL teams, only five came in with a price below $500.
