If you balk at the cost of attending a MLB game, just imagine going to a Superbowl with just 2 people and decent seats !
5k ?, Maybe 10 k ? Or even more factoring in say one night at a 3 star motel and airfare ( going economy class )
Bump it up to primo seats, 5 star hotel and 1st class airfare, has to be well over 30k, probably more like 50k ? , For a 3 hour long football game ! I could take a wife, GF or whatever and go to Europe for 2 weeks for that kind of money instead. You'd have to be a multi- millionaire to justify blowing that kind of coin on a football game. Who are these people that attend these games ? They sure aren't ordinary people like school teachers and bus drivers.
Even a regular season MLB game for a family of four is kinda pricey, or something like taking your GF to a concert could run $500, it gets pretty insane.

The White Sox parking is $20 and only $10 on Sundays. Their ballpark is right next to the Dan Ryan Expressway and is very easy access. Now Wrigley Field is literally in a residential area and not close to the expressway. Parking is probably $30-75 now. Its on the high end for night games. If you don't have a neighborhood sticker pass, you will get towed for $300. Its a major PITA at night, but they have mass transit that is a block away from the outfield entrance.
I'm looking at Class A All-Star tickets (South Bend Cubs) for june, $18. Concessions are very reasonable also.
My kids' little league actually has "marlins day" this sunday.
Each kid will receive a free voucher (parents have to pay). There are also 2 concessions stand having a 3-O-5 deal where hot dogs, popcorn, pretzel, nachos, water, and soda are $3. Tacos and draft beer are $5.
Not bad (funny b/c in past years, we would have to pay $20-$25 a ticket for "marlins day")

Those prices are certainly better than typical MLB prices , but still allows. huge profit margins for the vendor $5 for soda, water, beer.
I can purchase bottled water water for less than 20 cents a bottle including the 5 cent deposit, for like Poland Spring not the store brand when buying by the case, less than 35 cents for a can of Pepsi, draft beer costs about 75 cents . My point is the vendor has lots of profit margin selling at $5
Agreed...Usually when we go to marlins games, we spend a few dollars more and buy 1 "all you can drink soda" just so we can go back for refills....The problem is my kids are in the bathroom peeing half the game and i overdrink soda (i dont drink much soda)
Before we do to disney world, we will stop at a BJ's about 30 min away and buy 40 waters for $3. I then tell my kids to see how much water prices are at the park. Its $3.50 a water. Trying to teach my kids how NOT to waste $$
