$12.00: Raiders
$11.50: 49ers, Saints, Jaguars
$11.00: Dolphins, Giants, Commanders
$10.50: Titans, Seahawks, Panthers

Rising food costs have forced vendors to up their prices between 20% and 30% from January 2021 to May 2022.

Gone are the days when sports venues only served hot dogs, beer, soda, and popcorn. Now, a fan's tastebuds have gone epicurean.
