Dallas Cowboys or Kansas City Chiefs?

The difference fans of these two teams would pay to see a game in-person is a steep one, according to a new study from GOBankingRates.com. The site looked at five key areas to determine the most and least expensive stadiums to watch a game in-person. The five areas included two tickets, two hot dogs, two beers, two soft drinks, and parking.

The findings? In spite of having a team that’s seen better days and possesses an arguably racist mascot, Washington Redskins fans pay more than any other team in the National Football League at FedEx Stadium.

Cincinnati Bengals fans are rewarded for their years of disappointments with the overall cheapest NFL experience at Paul Brown Stadium.

If you’re an Arkansas football fan looking to adopt a nearby NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs are your best bet. Arrowhead Stadium ranks as the No. 4 least expensive experience; meanwhile, former Razorback Jerry Jones could care less about your four-hour drive. His AT&T Stadium is the No. 3 most expensive in the NFL. Sorry, Cowboys fans.

You could buy two game tickets to a Buffalo Bills game at Ralph Wilson Stadium ($72.66) for less than the cost of parking at a Dallas Cowboys game at AT&T stadium ($75).

While hot dogs at a Seattle Seahawks home game are half the price of those at a Detroit Lions home game, expect to pay almost five times more for parking at the Seahawk’s CenturyLink field.

Beer prices are similar in Oakland and San Francisco, but a 49ers ticket will cost you over twice as much as a Raiders ticket.
