Las Vegas Raiders Fans Only Pay $13 For A Beer And Hot Dog

Football is back! Time for tailgating, painting your body in your team's colors, and wearing those stupid cheese hats (sorry Packers fans). It's also time for stadium hot dogs and beer.

So - how much will you be shelling out for a beer and a hot dog this year? Well, you might be surprised - at how affordable it actually is at some stadiums.

No, it's not always cheap to eat at a sporting event. According to a website called Sportscasting.com, NFL fans will pay an average of $15.02 for a beer and hot dog at stadiums this season. 

Who has the most expensive concessions? NOT the Las Vegas Raiders! Las Vegas Raiders fans will be happy with this list, because we are NOT the most expensive, for once.

Las Vegas Raiders fans will pay $13 for a beer and a hot dog at Allegiant Stadium. Seriously, not bad by Vegas standards. If only you could run in, and JUST get that!

So who has the most expensive beer and dog? That would be Seattle. The cheapest? You'll want to go to Atlanta to save money.

This, of course, after paying several hundred dollars for a ticket to begin with. So you already don't want to sit there an watch your team potentially lose, completely sober. *Raiders fans*

Here's a little breakdown on what a beer and a dog will cost you at the most expensive stadiums:

1.  Seattle Seahawks: $19.98

2.  L.A. Rams and the L.A. Chargers: $19.49

3.  Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and Jacksonville Jaguars: $19.00

New Orleans has the most expensive beers at $12, while the priciest hot dogs are in Seattle and Los Angeles at $8.49.

Here are the NFL stadiums where you'll get off cheapest buying a beer and a dog:

1.  Atlanta Falcons: $7.49

2.  Miami Dolphins: $9.98

3. Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, and Detroit Lions: Just under $12.00 for both.

Four teams charge just $5.49 for a beer: The New York Jets, the Detroit Lions, the Miami Dolphins, and the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta, of course, also has the cheapest hot dogs at just $2.00 each.  And get this:  22 teams charge more for a beer - JUST A BEER - than what the Falcons charge for BOTH.

The Falcons have made it a point to have cheap concession prices for years. And apparently, they do pretty well with it. Most likely, it's about volume. If you're paying less, you're going to have that second beer with less hesitation. And perhaps they know you won't feel quite as bad about a loss with another beer.

Settle down cheese heads. You're paying $16.50 for a beer and a dog! You can find the whole report right here.
