It's everywhere, including in the NFL.
However, inflation has hit fans of the Las Vegas Raiders at a much bigger rate than the normal increase in the NFL. According to a recent study on Casino.guru, over the past decade the cost of a Raiders' home game experience has skyrocketed 282 percent, trailing only the game-day experience of going to a Detroit Lions; game, which has risen a whopping 367 percent since 2016. The formula includes the price of a game ticket, one beer and one hot dog. The average cost to go toa Raider game is now $323, while it was just $84 in 2016.
In addition to general inflation, a big reason for the increase was the Raiders' 2020 move from Oakland to Las Vegas. There is much more interest in going to games in Las Vegas, especially from fans of visiting teams. Thus, the major price increase. Moving into Allegiant Stadium is also a big reason why the overall value of the franchise has increased.
Now, it's time for the Raiders to start winning and give fans some value for their game-day money spent.
