2024’s NFL season kicked off when the Baltimore Ravens faced reigning champions the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on September 5, and fans paid an average of $16 to fuel up to cheer on their team.
The worst news is, that’s nowhere near the most expensive NFL Stadium. In fact, Arrowhead Stadium only ranks 15th on our list.
The prices vary so wildly, that some stadiums are charging the same prices for a single beer that others are charging for food combos.
