It's a special thing: going to see your favorite sports team, cheering your face off while munching on a mustard-slathered hot pretzel and gulping down a nice cold one (or two). To some, that is the American Dream. But the wide range you'll pay from NBA arena to NBA arena for a 16-ounce beerski is kind of shocking.
Food & Wine did the research and here is every NBA team ranked from cheapest home-court arena beer to the most expensive. We'll also give you the actual 2022/2023 price for a 16-ounce barley soda. Sorry in advance Celtics fans.

That is some bull! I'm so cheap that I break out into a light sweat even ordering an entree at a restaurant at that price! We could slug 3-and-a-quarter beers in Cleveland for the same price! But then we'd have to be Cavs fans... so..... pay the $20 at the Garden I guess. (What? You gotta tip!)
