Lumen Field qualified as the third-most expensive stadium in the NFL for the most common stadium-related purchases — tickets, beer and hot dogs — according to Bonus Finder’s newest study of stadium affordability for fans.
Seattle’s home for the Seattle Seahawks finished with a score of 7.0 (out of 15), tied with Philadelphia and San Francisco as the third-priciest stadium. Chicago ranked as the most expensive (averaging $11 for beer, $7.50 for a hotdog and $130 for a ticket). Those prices are extremely similar to Seattle, but Seahawks’ ticket prices average just $7 cheaper.
