Not every stadium beer that looks cheap actually is, once you do the math on the pour. Here’s a ranking of 11 stadiums by cost per ounce, using Team Marketing Report’s 2024 NFL Fan Cost Index, the same benchmark the league’s own franchises cite when pricing concessions. The results flip a few assumptions, and the cheapest-looking beer on the board isn’t always the one that wins.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta comes in at 42 cents an ounce, based on $5 for 12 ounces. Team Marketing Report’s Fan Cost Index defines its beer figure as the least expensive regularly priced beer available at multiple points of sale. Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s original fan-first menu also launched with a $5 12-ounce domestic beer.

Empower Field at Mile High, Denver Broncos

Denver’s 2024 listing was $7 for 16 ounces, or 44 cents an ounce. The stadium’s current beverage guide gives Breckenridge Brewing a visible spot at Cable Car Bar in Section 233.

U.S. Bank Stadium, Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota was $9.75 for 20 ounces, which works out to 49 cents an ounce. That does not beat Atlanta on value, but the larger pour keeps the gap much smaller than the sticker prices suggest. Miller Lite is a founding partner of U.S. Bank Stadium and has partnered with the Vikings since 2002.

Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati Bengals

Team Marketing Report listed Cincinnati at $6 for 12 ounces in 2024, or 50 cents an ounce. The sticker price looks cheaper than Minnesota’s, but the smaller pour puts Cincinnati just behind it on cost per ounce. That is exactly why the menu price alone can mislead you.

Gillette Stadium, New England Patriots

New England landed at 53 cents an ounce with a $10.50 20-ounce beer. Gillette Stadium’s Celebration Beer Hall opened in 2023 as a Bud Light hospitality space. Patriots materials say memberships include Anheuser-Busch products, which is narrower than claiming every company brand is poured there.

Lambeau Field, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay’s 2024 figure was $9 for 16 ounces, or 56 cents an ounce. The Packers’ A-Z guide lists a two-level Miller Lite Endzone behind Section 100. The same guide says alcohol sales end with the third quarter.

Lumen Field, Seattle Seahawks

Seattle was $10 for 16 ounces, or 63 cents an ounce. Nearby Elysian Fields sits close to Lumen Field and opens at 9 a.m. on Sunday Seahawks game days, three hours earlier than its regular Sunday opening.

Caesars Superdome, New Orleans Saints

The Saints’ 2024 benchmark was $14 for 16 ounces, or 88 cents an ounce. The beer connection also carried a Louisiana name that season. In September 2024, the Saints named Abita the team’s official craft beer.

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo’s 2024 listing was $11.50 for 12 ounces, or 96 cents an ounce. That figure belongs to the Bills’ previous stadium era. In 2025, the team announced that its Labatt partnership would continue into the new Highmark Stadium for 2026.

MetLife Stadium, New York Jets

Team Marketing Report listed the Jets at $13 for 12 ounces at MetLife Stadium, or $1.08 an ounce. That figure is team-specific. The same table listed the Giants at $5 for 12 ounces in the same stadium, showing why a venue name alone does not always tell you which price applies.

SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles Rams and Chargers

Team Marketing Report listed both Los Angeles teams at $14 for 12 ounces in 2024, or $1.17 an ounce. That is the highest figure in this selected group. The shared stadium also gives you a useful control: same building, same listed pour size, and the same cost per ounce for both teams.

Compare the Pour, Not Just the Price

The useful habit is simple: ask how many ounces come with the number on the board. A price that looks high can be competitive once you divide by size, while a low sticker can hide a smaller pour. Branded bars and local brewery names make a venue feel distinctive, but value is arithmetic. If you want to compare stadium beer, start with the ounce.
