Monday night, the Alabama Crimson Tide faced off with the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff Championship. This game, which Alabama won 52-24, took place at Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins. The action on the field became a talking point later in the evening, but the prices at the concession stand sparked a variety of comments prior to kickoff.
When the fans saw the prices, they reacted with a variety of comments. Some said that the prices were “reasonable,” while others proclaimed the NFL stadium was gouging the fans. Many compared the prices at Hard Rock Stadium to those at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The Georgia-based stadium has famously low concession prices, but other facilities do not follow suit.

$11 for a burger and chips actually isn’t bad

Not too shabby at all. Anytime you get the premium for a buck or 2 more than the domestic light, that’s the play.

Stupid. They have priced regular fans out of attending in a nonCovid year. I’ve been 09,11, 15, 17 and 18 games but I’m not sure we will be able to go again. Prices are crazy.

Is it, or is it that we’ve come to accept price gouging at sporting events?

And THIS is why I would make sure to eat at the tailgate before coming in for @CanesFootball games. Buy a soda, maybe a beer, avoid buying actual food.

This is part of the reason I don’t attend many football games. I have a better seat, view, food and beer at my house.

Drives me insane that we let these places (and theaters) continue to gouge us with pricing, and we keep paying for it!!

That’s the one bad thing about playing in a Pro stadium! Everywhere except for Atlanta!!

Not gonna lie, I expected higher. Not that they’re cheap by any means but a bit less than I would have thought.

Every Natty should be in Atlanta. They are so fair with their college game pricing.

How is it possible for the falcons stadium to charge half price for the same items here
