Methodology and Sources

Total Cost for a Family of Four

All prices are based on publicly available team and ticketing data and adjusted to reflect the 2026 NFL season. To calculate the cost for a family of four, we included:

  • Four general admission tickets (including both primary and verified resale listings)
  • Two beers
  • Two soft drinks
  • Four hot dogs
  • One parking spot

In total, Action Network’s data experts analyzed 539,192 ticket listings across all 32 NFL teams, drawn from 272 Ticketmaster event pages. Ticket prices were gathered from Ticketmaster and other official outlets. We filtered out atypical listings, removing ultra-premium or luxury packages as well as unusually low promotional offers, to ensure prices reflected what a family would realistically pay at the higher end for a regular-season stadium visit.

Where official 2026 stadium concession and parking prices were not yet available, 2025 prices from Fox 5, Dose and Team Marketing Report's Fan Cost Index were used as the baseline. These 2025 prices were adjusted to estimated 2026 levels using the latest available 12-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) changes published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, through June 2026. Category-specific CPI measures were used rather than a single overall inflation rate:

  • Beer: +3.1% (beer, ale and other malt beverages away from home)
  • Soft drinks: +1.9% (carbonated drinks)
  • Hot dogs: +7.2% (frankfurters)
  • Parking: +3.8% (parking fees and tolls)

These CPI adjustments are used only to estimate 2026 concession and parking costs. Ticket prices are based on 2026-season listings and are not CPI-adjusted.

The cheapest ranking orders teams from the lowest total to the highest, and the most expensive ranking reverses that order. The Jets and Giants, and the Rams and Chargers, remain separate because their ticket costs differ even though each pair shares a stadium. Child admission policies are shown as supporting information and do not alter the package total.
