Most and Least Expensive Beer Prices in College Football
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
what a rip offThat same can runs around $2.25 with tax at your local liquor store
RU should be priced lower since many home games are lopsided losses.
I’ve never purchased beer by the can from a liquor store but this is good to know just in case I am ever down on my luck.
Stupid... list assembler is shocked that Rutgers charges $11 but makes accommodations for UCLA charging $12 because Los Angelinos are used to high prices... UCLA plays in Pasadena.
NJ cost of living is 15% higher or more.
You'd think whatever writer decided to single out Rutgers would search, just a little bit, to for an explanation before hitting SEND.. especially once he/she/they decided that cost-of-living had some effect on UCLA's pricing.
If anyone cares to tell him/her/they.. the email is [email protected] and he/she/they is from SW Florida somewhere.
BTW.. Rutgers grossed $1.6M in alcohol sales at football and basketball games last year... NJ.com link I have to say, just one lawsuit could turn whatever profit that represents into a huge loss... you know our legal eagles just love to settle quickly, pay em what they ask and more! but, hmmmm... does that include sales in the "Boardwalk" area pregame?

In case? You’re well past that!
Stick with your fruity wine coolers and stay out of the thread which is about beer cans
For years a lot of folks complained they couldn't drink (legally) in the stadium. Anyone who thought you wouldn't have to pay thru the nose if approved wasn't thinking straight. The only reason to do it was to make as much $ as possible so drink up, think about it as you're helping good ol RU lol.
How's your first summer going down there?In case? You’re well past that!
Hotter than I expected and my job is mostly outdoors , but it’s really slow paced and chill down here
I will be up in Jerz prob for Labor Day weekend for Belmar and possibly that RU game so count on at least 3 cans being sold that game
i was wondering about the heat. With the water temp in the gulf I'd think being close to the water wouldn't help too much.

So. you actually buy beer by the can in a liquor store?
Cool.
I will keep that in mind as I read your insights on science, culture, history and politics.
Probably not.
Sorry for “poor shaming” you. That was not cool, for example.
I know trolling and owning the libs gives you some sense of purpose (however purposeless and unproductive that might be). But if you’re gonna do that, don’t let on that you don’t have a pot to piss in. People can be biased.
Warm water, we’ve missed out on some nasty storms by a hair, they seem to hit more East.
Notice I have another deranged stalker?
$11 in NJ is not the same as $11 in Minnesota.
Or priced higher because by halftime the fans are usually desperate for a positive outlet.
This is a very poorly written article. Makes no mention of what beer they are basing the pricing on or the size of the can/pour. I'll have to assume they picked a standard beer to compare along with equal pour sizes across all stadiums since the idiot making the comparisons didn't say. I'll go with Bud or Coors type draft pour at 12 ounces per $11. A 30 pack of Bud Light is about $26 or 87 cents a can...or over a 1,200% markup. If they are draft pours that markup will be even higher. $11 ain't no deal unless you are comparing to the absurd prices a Met Life or Yankee Stadium.
That’s the thing
They give you a larger can so it is tough to figure how bad you are getting ripped off
If it was a standard beer can, obvious
That said, a couple or three of the super sized ones could be necessary for some of our games, against Ohio state. eg
Why would you assume they are comparing equal sizes across? The "reporter" most likely asked for the price of beer at each stadium without including details like size or kind of beer.
I buy those 16oz Bud aluminum bottles at the convenience store ( usually Thornton’s) for 2/$3.50. Just bought four last night after my softball triple header. Kill two on the way home
Actually it’s Sutter Home White Zinfandel
Kidding but it was quite popular for two years in the 1980s.
I’m rather pedestrian with my wine. I go by brand and grape. No idea what year is good.
I’m a Rombauer Chardonnay guy. Like $50 a bottle at Spring Lake Bottle Shop. But it goes great with pizza.
If the reporter did not use comparable size/brewer/style, then he is even more of an idiot than his journalistic efforts already suggest. Either I assume comparable purchases or I assume he is a dolt who does not know how to conduct a proper study.
All due respect, this article might as well have been written by a bot/AI but there are blatant typos in this article. So I assume it was written offshore. It’s an article about nothing that no one will read.
No I am suggesting that the liister never even considered cost of living for Rutgers beer prices but did so for UCLA.
But Pasadena is in LA County.. but it is a separate city that's about 10 miles away. Rutgers stadium in Piscataway is about 11 miles, as the crow flies, from the NYC border (before you guffaw.. Staten Island is NYC, right?)

I've been to bars where they get $5+ for a 12oz bottle of coors lt.. so $11 for 20oz can at a D1 football stadium isnt that high... Is it overpriced? Yes.... But not by that much considering the venue..
