The cost of Beer by Ballpark for 2015

[Pine Tar]

I didn't think there was beer less than $8.50 at ATT park - and with another ring I did;t expect them to go down this year. I'll be there next week and will check.

Drink them up

Prices are high at ballparks for two reasons:

1) to thwart drunk driving
2) to create a family atmosphere.

No.


They charge those prices because they have too. All you fans that think Player A "deserves 20M a year" because "that's the going rate" are to blame. That's why you are paying $9 a beer. Keep accepting inflated contracts and your beer, soda, parking, seats, tshirts, hats will continue to go up. The owners will not pay the difference, they will continue to tax the fan more and more and hope the fans will excuse it away with ideas like "to create a family atmosphere."

 

[Lancemountain]

Front office literally *loves* home stand rain delays- extends concession (re: BEER) sales while also getting the game officially played. That does neither the following

1) to thwart drunk driving
2) to create a family atmosphere.

and they don't care.


Labor is the biggest cost in any business and professional sports has gotten out of hand.

That's great! Thanks for doing that!


I can surmise that Boston is so much higher due to their high wage bill and low possible attendance

 

[zach]

No.


They charge those prices because they have too. All you fans that think Player A "deserves 20M a year" because "that's the going rate" are to blame. That's why you are paying $9 a beer. Keep accepting inflated contracts and your beer, soda, parking, seats, tshirts, hats will continue to go up. The owners will not pay the difference, they will continue to tax the fan more and more and hope the fans will excuse it away with ideas like "to create a family atmosphere."

Not to mention the percentage kick-back the concession operator has to pay back to the stadium for the contract.

Ha haha even though you can read it top of the button and then the bottom of the button and then the price. Or the Price first and then the top and then bottom.

It just looks funny some are going to read it.

We ID 40, Premium Beer 8.75 & younger :razz:
