Fans slam staggering prices of food and drink at Super Bowl as options branded 'trash'

Thousands of people with envious tickets to see this year's Super Bowl LX have entered the stadium in San Francisco and found themselves confronted with some intimidating food and drink prices.

Many fans have forked out between $4,000 and $6,000 to see if the New England Patriots have regained their NFL championship mojo after losing their team's key pillars in coach Bill Belichick and the inimitable Tom Brady - or if the favorites Seattle Seahawks can close out a dominating season.

But even if their favored team wins the Super Bowl, some at Levi's Stadium may still feel like they've lost. That's because some of the consumable items being offered to fans could set them back $180, without a drink.

Anyone looking for a deluxe burger with an equally deluxe price tag can opt for the stacked LX Hammer, which comes packed with braised bone-in beef shank, a Point Reyes blue cheese fondue and a roasted mirepoix demi-glace - a fancy French beef sauce.

Even the more basic options, like a simple stadium hot dog, are setting the crowd back $20, with the beefy Chinatown Dog, which comes with Chinese hot mustard, char siu pork, sriracha, and shredded yellow daikon.

For those who can find it, for $35 there is also the Gilroy Garlic Steak Frites, which is a California hanger steak served with a ruch au poivre saude, crisped Gilroy garlic, and pink peppercorns

But some inside the stadium have said, even if they could pay for one of these deluxe LX Hammer burgers, they can't even find them as only 200 were made.

One angry football fan said: "Haven’t seen anything better than a hot dog. Food options here are trash."

People looking for a nice cold one to slake their thirst, or drown their football-related sorrows, don't seem to be faring much better either.

A simple can of Bud Light is setting fans back $17.50, while the more premium beer options start at $19. Meanwhile, for those who like to drink something a bit harder, a can of wine is $16.

Anyone looking for anything with a spirit in it though is paying even more, with a double Jack and Coke setting them back $32, or $19 for a single.

Naturally, this caused some harsh reactions from some, with one person saying they'd 'rather drink the water from the toilet' than pay those prices.

Another shared a meme of Adam Sandler crying in Uncut Gems with the simple statement: "$3000 for Super Bowl tickets, $400 for Super Bowl parking, $20 for a Super Bowl beer."

But while the overall cost of going to the Super Bowl is clearly a lot more than just the already steep ticket price, these sorts of concession prices are not far outside of the ordinary paid by sports fans at almost every stadium.

One X user noted: "These actually aren’t that bad considering stadium prices for these."

Another added: "I’m of the mindset - if you can afford to go to the Super Bowl - I’m guessing those prices are a drop in the bucket."

And with 10,000 hot dogs, 1,000 loaded footlong dogs, and 2,000 pounds of prime beef tenderloin all hauled in for the biggest game of the year, organizers at Levi's Stadium are probably not expecting their prices to put off fans.
