A friend of mine recently went to a Tampa Bay Lightning game and reported that the beers were about $15 or $16 a pop. Basically all major sports royally gouge the fans at the concession stands. The two exceptions I have heard of are The Masters (which costs a fortune to get in) where everything sold on the course is $5 or under including the beer and the Falcons in Atlanta as Art Blank decided that the Master’s concession approach was reasonable as the team is already making beaucoup coin on season tickets, parking, TV revenue, etc…… BTW, spring training ball is getting almost as bad at some of the parks for concessions and tickets but the prices do come down for the FSL A ball games in the summer.
