Study says MetLife Stadium is among the best for concessions

We’re in the NFL’s offseason (well, we’re in draft season), but now comes a report that says Jets and Giants fans are pretty well set when it comes to concessions.

A betting website called Empire Stakes produced an NFL concession index to rank which stadiums offer the best options and cost.

Since the Giants and Jets share a stadium (in New Jersey), they also share a spot in the rankings, and it’s pretty high: #5, with a score of 6.93 out of 10.

Here are the scores in each of the four metrics used:

🏈 Concessions Per Square Foot (ft²): The number of concession stands in the stadium divided by the overall stadium square footage. For MetLife that’s 1 per 20,3882
🏈 Concessions Per Stadium Capacity: The number of concession stands in the stadium divided by the overall stadium capacity. For MetLife, it’s 1 per 801 fans
🏈 Price of a Beer $ (2023): The average price of a small beer hot dog during the 2023/24 season. Surprisingly, it’s only $5.
🏈 Price of a Hot dog $ (2023): The average price of a hot dog during the 2023/24 season. At MetLife, it’s $7.

Some of the specialty concessions at MetLife include:

🏈 WingMan NYC: A stand that specializes in chicken wings with various sauces, such as hot honey, buffalo, and Parmesan garlic. The stand is located at sections 135 and 143 on the plaza level.
🏈 Nona Fusco’s: A stand that serves Italian dishes, such as meatball parm and chicken cutlet sandwiches. The stand is located at sections 106 and 131 on the plaza level.
🏈 The Original New York Cheesesteak Company: A stand that claims to offer authentic cheesesteaks from New York. The stand is located at sections 201 and 237 on the plaza level.
🏈 Cheetos Popcorn: A stand that mixes Cheetos and popcorn together for a snack. The stand is only available at section 329 on the upper deck.
