GRAPH: The Miami Marlins Have The Highest Beer Prices In Baseball, Further Proving That Organization Sucks
You have to pay for a new stadium somehow, I guess. Oh no, wait, taxpayers do that against their will (though that’s not exactly exclusive to the Marlins). Maybe the hiked beer prices are just what’s paying for that Lisa Frank nightmare statue adorning the centerfield wall at Marlins Park.
Regardless, the fact that the perpetually not good at baseball Miami Marlins sell the most expensive beer in baseball is madness. MADNESS. The Marlins come in a full $2 more expensive than the New York Yankees. The team already has problems drawing fans, what with the Miami populace’s general “meh” attitude toward their teams — it seems safe to assume that concession stand employees often outnumber actual fans at Florida Panthers games — along with the Marlins being one of the more poorly, or at least infuriatingly, run teams in the game. At the very least reward the astoundingly loyal fans who actually attend Marlins games, as well as the people who were given tickets for free by their place of employment, with decently priced beer.
Here’s the full chart of beer prices for the MLB, which lists the price of the smallest available draft beer at each stadium.

It’s always bothered me as a St. Louisan that Cardinals game beer prices weren’t among the cheapest in baseball, considering the Anheuser-Busch brewery is quite literally just down the road. The Miller and Coors home stadiums should also probably rank lower, but I guess the three parks have the brand loyalty from their attendees to charge whatever they feel like. Wrigley Field beer prices being near the top isn’t a huge surprise. Cubs fans show up so bombed to home games that they’re drunk enough to pay those prices. Also, watching the Cubs makes you need a beer badly enough to rationalize paying any price. Here’s $100, JUST MAKE ME FORGET!
All that really matters in this graph, though, is that Marlins price. I guess every Marlins fan feels like this unlucky guy when paying for a beer:
Just a hard shot to the dick. At least they’ve all celebrated two World Series wins.

This graph is a lie, well for the nationals at least, just went to a game the cheapest beer was $10. Thanks Obama

10 years ago at 1:27 amAs a Phillies fan I ave to say this graph is horribly inaccurate. I was at the a game last week when Pittsburgh was in town and bought Coors Light for $6. The vendors walking around charge more for their beer because that’s how they make their money. If you get off your lazy ass and grab a beer is much cheaper.
10 years ago at 7:33 amAs a Phillies fan, you’re completely wrong. There’s no $6 beer anywhere in the ballpark. And the beer men charge the exact same prices as stalls.
10 years ago at 9:38 amA) Considering it was only a week ago and I gave the guy a $10 and received $4 back I would like to state you’re an idiot. B) Do some research you fucking geed, even the beers that cost $7.75 are less expensive per ounce than other ballpark http://www.philliedelphia.com/2012/04/misleading-reports-claim-phillies-citizens-bank-park-have-expensive-beer-numbers-show-otherwise.html
10 years ago at 12:28 pmWhat they missed is Miami is charging $8 for a 16 ounce beer while the Red Sox are $7.75 for a 12 ounce can, and they increase those prices during special events
10 years ago at 9:51 amWHERE THE FUCK DO YOU FIND THE 6.50 BEERS AT NATIONALS PARK!?!? 8 fucking dollars for a Miller Lite, no thanks

10 years ago at 10:42 amThey serve $5 pounders at the bar in right field until the first pitch is thrown out or $6 ones at the bullpen (area outside the stadium) all the time

10 years ago at 11:40 amAt least the Indians are winning at something…
10 years ago at 11:33 am[…] in the meaty part of the bell curve at $6 (beers were $8 last season). They must have taken note of Fox’s roast of them for having the highest prices last season. $6 still isn’t low enough for me to watch that […]
