How about $72 parking, $29 nachos: Fans will feel the NFL-ation at Commanders games this season.
Inflation has taken a bite out of Americans’ wallets at the gas pump and the grocery store in recent years, and it will follow them to football stadiums this fall.
Ticket prices are on the rise throughout the NFL, and Washington Commanders fans might experience some sticker shock at the concession stand during Sunday’s home opener at the newly renamed Northwest Stadium.
A Washington Commanders spokesperson said the team raised most concession prices by around 10% to keep pace with other NFL stadiums and sports venues in the D.C. area. The cost of soda, bottled water and hot dogs was unchanged.
Commanders owner Josh Harris invested $10 million to renovate the concession stands this offseason, creating 11 “frictionless markets” where fans can easily grab essentials like water without interacting with a cashier. Team officials said fans should expect better quality, selections and technology when they visit Northwest Stadium this season.
But with the cost of food, drinks and tickets on the rise, how much will it cost to see the Burgundy and Gold in 2024?
The average ticket for a Commanders game this season will cost about $104, according to SeatGeek’s online marketplace. For Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, the cheapest seats in the nosebleeds of section 413 are available for $58. For those with more glamorous tastes, tickets in a luxury suite are available for $1,355.
