Seahawks Games Are Among the NFL’s Most Expensive

You may love your living room flat screen even more after this.  Watching football there is so much cheaper!  It will cost the average fan $146 to go to a Seahawks game this season, and that's among the most expensive game experience in the NFL.  

NFL ticket prices are up about 40 percent in the past decade, according to Yahoo, and once you factor in parking, concessions, and a few festive beverages, you could be in the hole $150 or more.  And that's just what it costs one person to attend a game.  Since you'll probably want to go with your wife, kids, or buddies, the cost of the whole experience is probably going to add up to $500 or $1000 for everybody, depending on who goes and how hungry and thirsty everyone is.

Tickets at CenturyLink Field in Seattle average $88.20, and a hot dog and a beer costs $8 — second-lowest in the league, according to Yahoo. It costs $50 to park.  How do other stadiums compare?

We pay all that money to go to a game, and then we watch most of the action on those huge video screens at the stadium.  Oops.  We can't help it because they're so in our faces.

NFL games are a blast in person, and they are also an exercise in throwing caution to the wind and accepting the money drain.  A thousand bucks to take the family to an NFL game, or a thousand bucks toward a new couch and flat-screen for the living room to watch it at home?  The first NFL game is September 5th so there's still a little time to decide.
