When it comes to the cost of attending Las Vegas Raiders games at Allegiant Stadium, it isn't cheap.
In fact, according to a recent list from Action Network, Allegiant Stadium is one of the most expensive in the league. The list takes a look at which stadiums are the most family friendly based on the collective cost of four general tickets, two soft drinks, four hot dogs and parking.
Allegiant Stadium was ranked as the second-most expensive for families, with the total cost of the aforementioned things coming in at $745.24. The only stadium in the NFL with a more expensive total than Allegiant Stadium was the San Francisco 49ers' Levi's Stadium ($750.65).
Allegiant Stadium was on the lower end of the price spectrum when it came to the cost of two soft drinks ($5.98) and four hot dogs ($11.96). However, the venue had the highest total price for four general tickets, coming in at $675.32. The prices of parking ($30) and two beers ($21.98) were around the middle of the pack.
Earlier this offseason, the Raiders announced yet another way fans can drop a pretty penny at home games, with the team introducing "premium spaces" for tailgating that start at $20,000 for one game, per Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“People spend that kind of money on one bottle of tequila on the Strip on a Saturday night,” Raiders vice president of premium sales and services, Panos Pappas, said. “Is it expensive? Sure it is. But there’s a premium that comes with it. You’re getting the full experience with it. Is it for everybody? It could be. You get all your friends together and you all chip in when you get there.”
“It came from the fans,” Pappas added. “There’s been a demand. There has been people calling our service team, our sales team and we’ve been talking about it for a couple of years and we thought it was something that we should probably do.”
Unfortunately, things aren't going to get any cheaper in the years ahead, and the Raiders are already dangerously close to pricing out the average fans and their families, if they haven't done so already.
