Taking in an NFL game in person is a truly wonderful experience. Getting to see all of the heart-stopping action in person is incredible. Feeling the sense of community with the crowd and the electricity in the air during play – there’s just not much like it! It’s a unique experience, and one that is more accessible at some stadiums than others.
Recently, The Action Network released a survey that evaluated the affordability of catching a game at every stadium in the NFL for a family of four. They evaluated on a number of different criteria, including the price of the tickets themselves, the price of parking, concessions (which included two beers, two soft drinks, and four hotdogs, all in separate categories), and each stadium’s child admission policy.
The results? The most affordable place to see a game in the NFL is at State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals. After all of the categories were calculated, it costs a family of four an average of $ 452.46 to take in a Cardinals game. That comes in more than $ 20 cheaper than the stadium in second place, Paycor Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals.
One of the more noteworthy aspects for families planning their trips to a Cardinals game this season is the stadium’s children policy. While other stadiums restrict it to children of certain heights, State Farm Stadium – like a majority of stadiums across the league – has a blanket “Children under 2 admitted free” policy. Cardinals games also have the least expensive tickets in the league, coming in as the only team under $ 400 for a family of four.
