Football fans nationwide will assemble on Sunday to witness Super Bowl 59. While people at home do not have to worry about shelling out money to see the two teams live, people in New Orleans who plan to attend the game will be coming out hundreds of dollars just to drink.
The National Retail Federation predicts that Americans will spend $17.3 billion on food, drinks, and other purchases for this year’s Super Bowl LIX.
The much-anticipated clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs is set to be a dynamic rematch from two years ago, but prices to eat and drink for fans inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, will make things harder to enjoy.
In addition to the lucrative tickets that will cost fans thousands of dollars, the cost of refreshments might shock fans watching Super Bowl 59 inside the stadium, which has over 76,000 seats.
The Superdome—home of the New Orleans Saints—will set some fans’ financial status back a few hundreds if they want to quench their thirst.
An American draft beer will cost $14, while Premium draft beer (Stella Artois) is priced at $16.

As for fans hoping for a premium cocktail such as a Bayou Strawberry Daiquiri, Pina Colada, or Frozen Irish Coffee, they will have to pay a price of $18.99, according to LADBible.
A serving of “ultimate nachos” is $18, while a hot dog will cost you $5. Those are not the worst prices.
Those wanting a bit more in refreshments will have to shell out $60 on a Don Julio 1942 tequila cocktail called Voodoo Magic.
Fans with bigger pockets can expect to get a bottle of Veuve Clique Brut at Super Bowl 59 for $200.
Fans Are Well Aware That Things Will Be Expensive At Super Bowl 59
Any fan attending a Super Bowl knows that ticket and parking prices are just the beginning of how expensive things will be.
Hundreds of millions of people tune in to see who will be the NFL’s champions, but only about 76,000 people will be able to experience the game in person.
The average ticket price is $5,658 per TickPick, so anybody enjoying Super Bowl 59 has enough cash to afford everything inside the Caesars Superdome.
