Forget the Big Mac index, this is the real inflation indicator. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/beer-cost ... 25517.html Haven't been to Bears game in years. It cost $9.25 for a cup of beer at Soldier Field?? My gosh. What is this world coming to? Cereal boxes becoming so small to contain only four servings, and now $10 beer at the stadiums. |

It was $15 for a Bud Strawberrita (or whatever it's called) at the Tinley Park Midwest Armpit Theatre Dorito Dome when I saw Def Leppard, STYX and Tesla there a few weeks ago. Pretty steep. But after thinking about it, it's a 25 ouncer at 8% ABV. By my poor math skills, you would pay about $8 for two 4.6% ABV 12 ouncers of regular Bud Lite to equal that out. Yeah, still pretty spensive. Plus, I actually dug the Strawberita, whereas I can't stand a Bud Lite one bit anymore. |

i think the real problem is beer companies charge the stadiums a lot more for the beer than they charge gas stations and what not. same reason beer is three times as expensive in a bar- because the bar gets charged 3 times more than they can get it at a gas station... and they dont have a choice because if the bar goes out and buys cases from the corner store the beer distributors will find out and refuse to sell to that bar. its called price fixing. and the stadiums dont care because they make a lot more money per sale off food because the food actually costs next to nothing to make. |

Places that don't offer a decent craft selection make it that much easier for me not to drink at games. |

Went to Bears games as a kid. My Dad would get 20 cans of beer in every time for him and his buddies. Duffel bag. Sunday Tribune on the bottom. Beer cans above the tribune. Another tribune above that. Then hats gloves and a bunch of other shit. They do the pat down. Can't feel the cans. He would also shove some cans in my coat pocket as they never checked kids back in the day. My Dad always won!!!! But now they have medal detectors at Soldier Field. |

I realize the likely answer is profit or because they can but when did the concession raping in sports start? |

Yeah but when did it start in sports? I do not recall the price of a beer my dad drank at a game in 1975. |
