While watching the Packers completely blow away the Bears on Sunday night, 55-14, I started thinking about the costs of attending an NFL game. As a native of the Green Bay area and a proud Packer fan, I’ve had the opportunity to attend a few games at historic Lambeau Field. It’s been almost 10 years since I last attended a Packer game. I know that at that time I paid at least $60 for a ticket. That was by no means premium seating, those were the cheap seats. I definitely remember freezing while sitting on those concrete stadium seats. That was not the only game I attended, nor the coldest.

In the chart below you can see a comparison of the costs of an NFL team from each division. These are the ranges of ticket prices for the remainder of the season that I found on TiqIQ.

You’ll pay top dollar to attend a game of the reigning Super bowl champs, the Seahawks. Century Link Field just happens to be the closest NFL stadium to Oregon, so it’s just a quick road trip away. To attend a Raiders game, you could get a game ticket and fly to Oakland for the same price of a Seahawks ticket. Heck, if you can get a $9 ticket, you might even be able to get a hotel room for the night and possibly have some money left over for a hot dog. You’ll probably be disappointed by the outcome of the game if you’re rooting for the Raiders…sorry Raiders fans! You can play a different game though like johnny kash casino if you want to have fun. You’ll even earn money instead of spending. Anyway, just a friendly reminder that while it is permitted, the Swedish Gambling Authority does not support playing at a casino without swedish licence. To comprehend it better, find out more about it.

Now if you plan to fly across the country to the East coast and check out a Patriots game, you’ll also pay top dollar for a ticket. As Tom Brady winds down his career, it just might be worth it, and you might even catch a glimpse of his supermodel wife, Gisele. This trip would easily cost you upwards of $1,000 or more when you factor in the lodging, transportation, and the game ticket.

Even though I may be a biased Packer fan, catching a game at Lambeau Field would be worth the bone chilling temperatures to experience a game at the only publicly owned team in the NFL. You can fly to the frozen tundra, Lambeau Field, and pay very low costs for lodging in Green Bay. If you fly directly into Green Bay, you will pay a premium for airfare, as it’s a very small airport. By the way, Green Bay is the smallest city in the league and has about the same population size as Gresham. If you decide to make the trip, let me know and maybe I’ll have my family welcome you with some Midwestern hospitality and hand you a beer and some cheese curds, ya der hey!
