Trying to set a budget for food and drink this year.
Past 2 seasons spending below, taking into account Yankee Stadium, that one Citifield game (didn't go to the game in Hartford) and surrounding bars.
Total 2017: $406.57
Per game (18) : $22.60
Total 2018: $559.11
Per Game (19): $29.42
Few takeaways:
1. Big spikes in mid summer (more home games and the RB derby) and spikes in Nov. + Oct (playoffs).
2. May tends to be a month where I miss games and NYCFC historically go on the road that month.
3. 2018 I started getting beers before and/or after games and that probably accounts for the extra 7 bucks a game over 2017.
Plan for 2019.
I just lowered my season ticket cost from $564.00 to $382.00 (Supporters Section).
I don't like the idea of spending more on food and alcohol than my season ticket cost.
$382.00 / 17 games = ~$22.50 per game.
I'm going to aim to spend no more than
$20 per game this year.
I wonder if anyone else has a budget plan or if you think this is insane given the cost of food and drink at YS. I'm going to get creative in how I make my dollar stretch and (hopefully) update this thread as I go.
