Who is No. 1? Most budget-friendly family NFL stadium
The Arizona Cardinals’ State Farm Stadium ranks as the best for families.
Thanks in part to being the only remaining team with an average ticket value under $100, a family of four can take in a Cards game for an average of $452.46, the cheapest of any stadium.
Their food and drink costs all rank within the cheapest third of the league and parking in Glendale is the third cheapest of any stadium.
Of the 16 most expensive stadiums in the NFL, Raymond James Stadium comes in No. 11 overall.
On average, it will cost a family of four $601.12 at a Bucs game.
According to the study, the Buccaneers have more affordable tickets than a number of teams, but once inside Raymond James Stadium is when the wallets start to groan. The most expensive soft drinks and hot dogs in the NFL can be found in Tampa.
Did you know? You can buy four hot dogs at an Atlanta Falcons game for the same price as one hot dog while watching the Chargers, Bears, or Buccaneers.

Like the Dolphins, the Jaguars are on the list of the 16 Cheapest Stadiums in the NFL. EverBank Stadium came in at No. 9 on the cheapest list.
A family of four can take in a Cards game for an average of $516.97.
