Which NBA stadium has the most expensive drinks? originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Attending an NBA game in 2022 can definitely cost you quite a bit of money, especially if you bring friends and family along.
It's not just the cost of a ticket that can be pricey but adding on selections at a concession stand can certainly add up.
Catching a buzz while watching an intense game at select stadiums will cost more, however. For instance, grabbing a beer to see Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics dominate at TD Garden will have a bigger price tag than attending Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse to watch Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers get to work.
