BillsFanForever19 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I haven't been to a game in a few years but $5 for a Water sounds about right for venue pricing. Take a look at Jerry Jones prices - you'll feel a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 38 posts about how much it costs to attend a football game. You guys realize at other stadiums it's more expensive. Going to a Bills game is one of the most reasonably costing stadiums in the US. If you don't like it, I understand, just don't go. There is a reason why I only take my boys to 1 Bucs game a year (I live in Tampa) It's expensive. To take the two them to a game with parking, club seats, or not, food and beverages is several hundred dollars. Besides, I'd much rather watch most games on TV. I know it's expensive to go to a professional football game. But what you pay for tickets, maybe they could cut the price back a little for a freakin bottle of water. I mean $5 for something you need to have in your body to live? What's next, domed stadiums charging $20 for the air your breathing inside their stadium? It's !@#$ing water!!!!

The point wasn't the price of the water, I'm a season ticket holder so I'm used to the high cost of stadium concessions. It was that someone in the Bills hierarchy decided to discount bottles of pop, but not water. (btw, the water brand is a Pepsi product same as the pop at the stadium.) I just thought there was a bizarre irony considering minutes before the game the team cut an overweight player who couldn't make weight then sent a message to kids that sugary drinks are favored over good old water.

Ask for a water for the concession stands, they will give it to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCbillsfan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 This just made me spit out my drink. The cost for fountain soft drinks is WAY cheaper than the cost for bottled water. This isn't some crazy oversight being "so Bills." It's simple business. Bottled soda Kirby not fountain soda. You're right big difference in cost if it were fountain soda.

IDBillzFan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) It's actually about the same. Since the Bills sell Pepsi, that's what I'll compare.. 12oz Snapple Fruit Punch http://www.snapple.com/products/filter/regular/snapple-fruit-punch-100juiced-juice 170 Calories 42g sugar 12oz Pepsi http://www.pepsicobeveragefacts.com/Home/Product?formula=35005*26*01-01&form=RTD&size=12 150 calories 41g sugar You're going to make someone a great wife one day.

The Wiz Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Training camp was no better. $2 for a hot dog and 3.50 for a drink(pretty sure they didn't even sell water, only soda/pop) I work at a college and it's no surprise why students get their freshman 15. Can get a salad roughly about 8oz bowl for $4 or a large fry, roughly 20oz bowl for 2.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Buy a soft drink or a snapple, dump that crap out and keep refilling the container with water. If the Bills cared about their fans they would provide, or sell at cost, cups for people to use for water. Particularly on kids day when it is so hot. Actually that would be a nice kids day promotion, every kid gets a bottle of water when they enter the stadium that they could reuse during the game. My average cost to go to gameGas in truck - $ 50. ApxTolls - $ 20 apxHotel 2 nights- $320 averageL, dinner, B. - $150 averageStromboli, drink, food - $150 average make about 50 Stromboli's per yearGood drink in game. - $ 50 averageParking.

That's about my cost per game as well for my family of 5 (we don't sit in the clubs). There are so many more important things to spend my money on so we just watch the games commercial free during dinner and go to one preseason game. Usually the kids day game but skipped it this year. Just too expensive to justify for me (regular season). But junk food being considerably less expensive than healthy alternatives is a problem nationwide not just in NFL stadiums unfortunately.
