It’s opening day for MLB and our Cubs and Sox . . . so if you love sitting through four hours of commentary for 12 minutes of action, get PUMPED.
Custom Ink did a study on Opening Day, looking at everything from season ticket prices to how much hot dogs are, and ranked each team according to how much it costs if you’re a DIE-HARD fan. You can see the full results here.
Northsiders, The Cubs are the most expensive team this year . . . just under $16,000 if you went to every single home game. Southsider’s, you’re Sox are one of the CHEAPEST teams, at just under $5,500. That includes the tickets, parking, food, drinks and jersey followed by a good ol’ Bridgeport ass kicking.
