First of all, I said nearly. Secondly, every time I go to a game with my family, that's how much it costs. Here is a breakdown: $40.00 a seat x 4= $160. $20.00 to park Now we are in the stadium and haven't bought a thing to eat or drink. A hot dog is $5.00 at Petco. So are drinks, peanuts and anything else you want to eat or drink at the game. Multiply that times 4. It's pretty easy to spend that, actually. For one, it's not very difficult to find tickets cheaper than $40.00, or someplace cheaper than $20 to park. But even then you're assuming that each member of the family eats $30 worth of food?
