A lot of people/families just can’t afford to go to games anymore with the cost of housing and healthcare going up and up while wages stay flat. It costs a family of 4 like $500 to go to one game.
That is the high side ($500) if the family plans well. The stadium is not close to selling out, so can get tickets from scalpers on game day for $50 each so $200 tickets. You can park about mile from stadium for $20. You can eat lunch prior to game at a fast food restaurant for $25.
So, then buy kids a drink and snack and you are looking at $10 to $12 each so $48
Yes, it is expensive, but not $500 for 4 people. These are not premium seats, but can find good deals. I got lower level for $40 each (4 of us) last year 20 minutes prior to kick off. The games have 15 to 20,000 unsold seats a game available right now
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
