With the NFL preseason underway, no one would blame Denver Broncos fans for looking ahead to the upcoming season.
It’s not a bad time for NFL fans to start setting aside money to pay for a game-day experience for the family, as well.
The average trip to an NFL game for a family of four is projected to cost $1,474.55, according to a study by The Action Network. The costs — including tickets, food, drinks and parking — range from $2,193.95 at Buffalo’s new Highmark Stadium to $823.13 at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field.
Empower Field at Mile High, the Denver Broncos’ home, is in the upper third for costs.
The study was based on more than 500,000 ticket listings and other publicly available team and ticketing data. When 2026 prices were not available for concessions, 2025 prices were adjusted to reflect inflation.
