The Major League Baseball season has officially begun, which means a lot of families will be planning a day at the ballpark in the coming months. Unfortunately, that also means a lot of those families will have to dip pretty heavily into their wallets, because going to an MLB game these days doesn’t come cheap.
GoBankingRates looked at all 30 Major League stadiums to determine the most and least expensive parks in the country to catch a game. They considered a day at the park to consist of two tickets (the price was calculated by taking an average of the three cheapest season ticket options and dividing it by 81 home games), two hot dogs, two beers and parking.
Overall, catching a Yankees game at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx will set folks back the most, at $90 a game, with $42 of that going to the tickets, $6 for two hot dogs, $12 for two beers, and $35 for parking. Meanwhile, the Colorado Rockies Coors Field is the least expensive at only $50, with $20 going for tickets, $10 for hot dogs, $6 for beers and $14 for parking.
Nationals Park (Washington Nationals) comes in 8th most expensive at $77.50 and Camden Yards (Baltimore Orioles) is 6th least expensive at $57.83.
