The cost of being an NFL fan
Following your favorite team on social media is one thing, but it does not compare to the atmosphere of being at a live game. However, while football is loved across America, being a fan of the sport does not come cheap. The average cost for a family of four to enjoy a home game in the NFL, including refreshments and merchandise, came to a staggering 631 U.S. dollars in 2023. This marks an increase of nearly 300 U.S. dollars on the figure from 2006.
