49ers games will be the priciest spot for families to watch an NFL game, according to sports website Action Network.
A family of four will spend about $750.65 at Levi’s Stadium, with $645.32 going just for tickets. 49er games also boasts the most expensive beer in the NFL, with two costing $24.
In contrast, State Farm Stadium in Arizona is the most affordable for families. You can enjoy a Cardinals game for an average of $452.46, thanks to reasonable ticket prices and affordable concessions.
Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium is another budget-friendly option, with low ticket prices and cheap parking.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta offers the cheapest food and drinks, despite slightly higher ticket prices.
While Las Vegas Raiders games have high ticket prices, inside costs are more manageable with affordable food and drinks.
Gillette Stadium in New England offers free parking but ranks high due to expensive tickets.
MetLife Stadium, shared by the New York Giants and Jets, shows varied costs depending on the home team. Giants games are pricier, adding over $55 more per family compared to Jets games.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans will find that while tickets are affordable, Raymond James Stadium has the most expensive concessions in the league.
Action Network scraped prices from Team Marketing Report’s 2023 NFL Fan Cost Index. They added up the cost of four general tickets, two beers, two soft drinks, four hot dogs, and parking.

I can’t even imagine.
If there was a tax on attendees of NFL games at Levi’s it would bring in $645 ÷4= 161× 6% × 70,000 = $676,000 for each event. This would be in addition to the small amount of money we receive currently.
Ome Santa Clara resident, Gus Evans,shated this with Suds Jain last year. Jain told Gus to stop bothering him.
Of course the 49ers are the most expensive. Sure they boast “free” food but has anyone noticed how much ticket prices have shot through the roof since that generous plan was sold to the season ticket holders? Lots of my club seat buddies are dumping their seats or selling game tickets because they can’t afford the cost. They are lucky to break even. And what about the parking costs?? You didn’t even include parking! That’s another joke!
And the 49ers complain they pay the most for public safety costs so they turn around and charge more for tickets, ticket surcharges and offer “free” food as a consolation prize? Nope, nope, nope. These 49ers are the greediest Gordon Gecko’s in the NFL. But what do they care? They have the 49er 5 and god help us if they get a 49er 6 in November? We need to get rid of these people and any elected or potential elected who thinks they are going to work for the 49ers and continue to screw Santa Clara. Your days are numbered or will never happen. You will be sniffed out. The voters are watching and waiting to take back Santa Clara from the greedy hands of Jed York and his minions.
Stand up and vote for Santa Clara and the people who support her in November!!
Amen…. LOVE IT!!!!
Our City has hope, and it rest in our hands. Vote by November 5th.
It’s our only way out of this mess.
This last Saturday I got to hang out in Central Park with so many other SC residents, and City employee’s. I was asked to help Umpire a City wide Slow Pitch Softball Tournament.
I think Chief Nikolai was voted MVP. However, I heard one of the K-9 unit Officers brought along his 4 legged partner along. Think Pitch Runner…. think Herb Washington….even “Charlie O” never thought of that!!
The next 30 years will be our time. If the 49ers want to move, I’ll volunteer to help load the trucks.
