Survey: Lambeau one of best values in NFL
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — An annual survey concludes that a game at Lambeau Field remains among the best values in the NFL.
The Team Marketing Report has calculated the 2008 Fan Cost Index. The figure combines the cost of four tickets to a regular-season game, four small sodas, four hot dogs, two small beers, two programs, two hats and parking.
For the Packers that figure comes out to $354. That’s 11 percent cheaper than the NFL average of $396.
The Packers index total increased 1 percent over 2007. A 25-cent increase in the price of beer, soda and hot dogs was offset by a $3 drop in the price of a hat.
The most expensive home team is New England, with a Fan Cost Index of $596. The Patriots have held the list’s top spot for the last six years.

Bill is right, that price reflects the face value of the tickets. In reality you are looking at a MINIMUM of $400-$450 just for the tickets themselves.

That's IF you could buy tickets at face value. If you look at what it actually costs, GB would be one off the highest.

Lambeau needs Uecker seats.

Yep, skip the hats and get more soda. There has to be one responsible driver, at least right?

"two small beers", does this actually take place at a Packer game?
