I love baseball. I grew up in a baseball house. The New Yorks Mets games could always count on me as a viewers. I wish I could go more. It can be very pricey to go to a game.
Some Major League Baseball stadiums cater to their fans with affordable tickets and food prices, others are notorious for some pretty steep charges.
Personal finance website GOBankingRates.com conducted a cost analysis of attending a game at all 30 MLB stadiums, comparing the price of four factors:
- Two tickets
- Two hot dogs
- Two beers
- Parking
