CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — If you're planning to take the family and watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field, it's going to cost you more than almost any other Major League Baseball game.
A Cubs game is the second-most expensive MLB outing for a family of four, according to thehustle.com. The site ranked the costs of games based on the price of four tickets, four hot dogs, two beers, two sodas and parking.
The estimated cost for a game at Wrigley was just shy of $313.
Although White Sox fans aren't shelling out nearly as much, the Sox ranked ninth on the list with the cost coming in at just under $215.
According to the research done in thehustle.com’s report, hot dogs at Guaranteed Rate Field are about $1.50 cheaper than what fans pay on the North Side. The report found that Sox fans pay $0.50 more for beer, though.
Ticket prices were what tipped the scales and vaulted the Cubs so high. The report listed Cubs tickets as costing $56.83 — over $20 more expensive than the team’s crosstown rival.
So which team has the most expensive ballpark experience? The Boston Red Sox, at $324.37. The Yankees rounded out the top three with an average cost of $302.86.
