No really. I swear.
This study and handy little pastel-colored infographic from Team Marketing Report ranked the average per-ounce beer price around all of Major League Baseball, and the Phillies finished at 37 cents– expensive by any human standards, but cheap by ballpark standards. That’s good for 22nd in baseball (around where their record stands!).
But average is sort of a misnomer here. That would indicate that all beer prices were taken into account. Which they were not. It’s $7.75 for a 21 oz. domestic* at CBP– roughly 37 cents per ounce. But that seemingly doesn’t take into account the many craft beers that are significantly more expensive (and I can assure you that Lee Porter has never paid the minimum $7.75 for a beer). It also doesn’t take into account the fact that the $7.75 cheapest beer is among the priciest in the league. So, while the per ounce price at CBP, at least for domestics, is relatively cheap, the barrier to get in my bell you cold delicious beverage entry is on the high side.
Anyway, at least we have another reason to not be a Red Sox fan– 60 cents per ounce. Ouch.
*I can’t find actual documentation on this, but from other articles and those of you on Twitter, I believe that is the going rate. If anyone can dispute this, please do so in the comments.

its 7.75 for a 16oz bud light bottle at CBP, like 8.50 for 16oz premium. Not sure where you are getting 21oz at
Its 7.75 for domestic bottles (the ones the guys hawk in the stands), which are I think 16 oz, not 21oz. You might be talking about draft beer only though.
I was just down at both Camden Yards and CBP South (Nats stadium) and both of those places wanted $9 for 16oz coors light cans, $10 for the premium beer
I’ve always wondered if it was possible to get fans to conduct a “strike” of sorts on this issue, would it force a pro team to reduce prices to a reasonable dollar amount. That, of course, would mean fans would have to excercise comstraint and not eat or drink for 2-3 hours. But if it could be organized, would it force teams to cut prices? $8 for a cup of beer is outrageous.
I paid $11 for a 24oz souvenir cup of Shock Top (orange) at Yankee Stadium for $11. Still probably the best overall deal i have found at a stadium.
Shock Top is for chicks. Step your game up.
…but how much was it?
$8.50 for 12 oz. of Summer Love is a rip off, sorry. I’m not even going to bring up the $7.75 Miller Lite. Captive audience, I get it. I drop $60-$70 a game for beer. How’s that cheap?
Do we want to discuss the $14 24oz’ers. at Wells Fargo?
21oz is not a denomination of beer… 8, 12, 16, 22, 24, 32, and 40 exist. 21 does not. and 22s are pretty much only craft beers
CBPs pretty much all 16oz which at .37 an ounce is $5.92. This graph is shennanigans
If you’re going to charge $8 – $10 for a fucking beer, can I at least get a Guiness? Maybe some Harp? Maybe an Old Fashioned by some Delco slore-bag in Parking Lot A?
It’s simple folks … Do not buy it !
They charge so much since all you keep buying it. If there is no demand the prices come down. Eat before you goto the park and buy a bottled water and bring some of the single serving packets of whatever and refill from the water fountain.
i’ve heard from people who worked as walking vendors. They stack the beer outside in 90 degree weather at 2pm (for a 7:05 start) and then throw it in ice seconds before walking out and selling it. That’s the real crime, at least permanent locations usually have cold beer.
I call total bullshit on this whole thing. I went to an Angels game last year and got a 16 ounce fat tire and they rang me up for $12. I almost shit a brick. There is NO WAY they are the cheapest beer in baseball. NONE.
But to return to the order of our narration. Gregory III. occupied the papacy, and the kingdom of the Lombards was held by Astolphus, who, contrary to agreement, seized Ravenna, and made war upon the pope. On this account, Gregory no longer relying upon the emperor of Constantinople, since he, for the reasons above given, was unable to assist him, and unwilling to trust the Lombards, for they had frequently broken their faith, had recourse to Pepin II., who, from being lord of Austria and Brabant, had become king of France; not so much by his own valor as by that of Charles Martel, his father, and Pepin his grandfather; for Charles Martel, being governor of the kingdom, effected the memorable defeat of the Saracens near Tours, upon the Loire, in which two hundred thousand of them are said to have been left dead upon the field of battle. Hence, Pepin, by his father鈥檚 reputation and his own abilities, became afterward king of France. To him Pope Gregory, as we have said, applied for assistance against the Lombards, which Pepin promised to grant, but desired first to see him and be honored with his presence. Gregory accordingly went to France, passing uninjured through the country of his enemies, so great was the respect they had for religion, and was treated honorably by Pepin, who sent an army into Italy, and besieged the Lombards in Pavia. King Astolphus, compelled by necessity, made proposals of peace to the French, who agreed to them at the entreaty of the pope 鈥?for he did not desire the death of his enemy, but that he should be converted and live. In this treaty, Astolphus promised to give to the church all the places he had taken from her; but the king鈥檚 forces having returned to France, he did not fulfill the agreement, and the pope again had recourse to Pepin, who sent another army, conquered the Lombards, took Ravenna, and, contrary to the wishes of the Greek emperor, gave it to the pope, with all the places that belonged to the exarchate, and added to them Urbino and the Marca. But Astolphus, while fulfilling the terms of his agreement, died, and Desiderius, a Lombard, who was duke of Tuscany, took up arms to occupy the kingdom, and demanded assistance of the pope, promising him his friendship. The pope acceding to his request, the other princes assented. Desiderius kept faith at first, and proceeded to resign the districts to the pope, according to the agreement made with Pepin, so that an exarch was no longer sent from Constantinople to Ravenna, but it was governed according to the will of the pope. Pepin soon after died, and was succeeded by his son Charles, the same who, on account of the magnitude and success of his enterprises, was called Charlemagne, or Charles the Great. Theodore I. now succeeded to the papacy, and discord arising between him and Desiderius, the latter besieged him in Rome. The pope requested assistance of Charles, who, having crossed the Alps, besieged Desiderius in Pavai, where he took both him and his children, and sent them prisoners to France. He then went to visit the pontiff at Rome, where he declared, THAT THE POPE, BEING VICAR OF GOD, COULD NOT BE JUDGED BY MEN. The pope and the people of Rome made him emperor; and thus Rome began to have an emperor of the west. And whereas the popes used to be established by the emperors, the latter now began to have need of the popes at their elections; the empire continued to lose its powers, while the church acquired them; and, by these means, she constantly extended her authority over temporal princes.
