SEC football not far behind the Pro baseball costs

The estimated price for a family of four to see a game at Dodger Stadium this season — four of those cheap tickets, parking, four hot dogs, two beers and two sodas — was a league-high $399.68.

The league average, according to that study: $208.


The cheapest ticket all season, available only for a Wednesday afternoon game against the Miami Marlins, before school lets out: $38. For four seats that day, parking, four hot dogs, and four sodas, the price would be $249.96.

In Los Angeles County, the median family income is $101,800, according to Elly Schoen, assistant director of the Neighborhood Data for Social Change program at the USC Lusk Center. If both parents work, and if they subtract costs for housing, food, child care, health care and transportation, the amount left over each month would be $530.

“I don’t know if you can spend half your discretionary income on a baseball game,” Schoen said.


Parking is $20 at Angel Stadium and $40 at Dodger Stadium.

I save all year for donation and season ticket money. I sell my cupcake game tickets so I can save the money for away game tickets. I park far from the stadium in a free parking lot which is okay because I can get my steps for the day. I eat before I go in the stadium and I bring in a sealed bottled water into the stadium to drink during the game. I bring my own seat cushion and I don't consuming anything at the stadium unless you count trips to the bathroom. So my cost experience isn't that bad.
