Silver Minings: Raiders will be most expensive NFL game day experience in 2021

The great news is that fans will likely finally be able to attend Las Vegas Raiders games at Allegiant Stadium in 2021.

The reality, however, is that it’s not going to be cheap.

Per Pickwise, going to Raiders home games in 2021 will be the most expensive game day experience for fans in the NFL. The average cost for fans for the season will be $3,450.26. On the flip-side, the Cincinnati Bengals are the cheapest fan experience on the NFL at $2,762.54.

I don’t know about you, but I’d pay the difference to be in Vegas for the weekend as opposed to Cincinnati, all due respect to the fine folks of the Queen City, of course.

The estimated cost for each team is based on ticket prices, the cost of one beer and one hot dog per game, the cost one jersey and cap, and accommodations (which was averaged across the league for all teams).

Look, it won’t be cheap to go see the Raiders at home. We all knew that, but at this point, take all of our money, right? We just want to get into Allegiant Stadium.
