It's costs nearly $950 for family of four to attend a Bucs game, second highest among NFL teams, survey says
TAMPA, Fla. - It costs big bucks to be a Buccaneers fan.
A recent survey by Bookies.com compared the cost for a family of four to attend games at each NFL stadium this season. It turns out, that it's more expensive to go to a Tampa Bay Bucs game this year than it is in 30 other NFL cities.
The report took into account the cheapest admission tickets, parking, two beers, two sodas, and four hot dogs. Across the league, the average price for a family of four to attend a game was $536.77.
They found that the average family of four will pay roughly $947 to attend a Tampa Bay game, making Raymond James Stadium the second-most expensive place for a family to catch a game.

The survey factored in the cost of four of the cheapest tickets, priced at around $868. Not to mention, two 16-ounce beers will cost $17.25, two 20-ounce sodas will cost $9.45, and four hot dogs are $22.
Experts said inflation and the size and location of RayJay are contributing to the high prices – plus, the opportunity to watch a Super Bowl championship team and the GOAT, Tom Brady.
"You're going to see higher ticket prices," explained Daniel Kaplan, sports business writer for The Athletic, "and higher parking prices and higher concessions of teams that do better."

In comparison, the cheapest team in the league, according to the survey, is the Arizona Cardinals. Four tickets cost just $169, with the total to attend the game being $228.05.
