The Atlanta Falcons are set to open their sparkling new Mercedes-Benz Stadium on August 26. The total cost of the construction is projected to be about $1.6 billion. Those that paid the bills won't be seeing an immediate return on their investment from the sale of concessions. That's becasue the Falcons are doing something unusual there. They will have a "Fan First Menu Pricing" and it truly is fan-friendly. Check out these prices.
Coca-Cola-Refillable Cup: $2
Hot Dog: $2
Waffle Fries: $3
Bud Lite Draft Beer: $5
Dasani Water Bottle: $2
Popcorn: $2
Pizza Slice: $3
Cheeseburger: $5
Pretzel: $2
Nachos w/Cheese
Souvenir Refillable Cup: $4
Chicken Tender Basket w/Fries: $6
That's remarkable. A fan can visit the concession stand, order two beers and the Chicken w/Fries, pay with a $20 bill and get some change. Two beers alone often cost more than 20 bucks at stadiums.
Many fans have been priced right out of attending games. Ticket prices have sky-rocketed with each new stadium and even without a new stadium. Concession stand prices have always been ridiculous. It's nice to see the Falcons price some of their goods with the fan in mind.
