NHL Beer Cost Index 2013-14
Who gives you the most suds for your bucks? The Fan Cost Index is the tabulation of how much a night at the arena costs fans, from tickets to parking to the really important stuff… like BEER.
The Beer Cost Index tabulates the highest and the lowest prices for brew around the NHL on a cost-per-ounce basis. The “Beer Lover’s Cost” is the brew for each 20 minutes of play, added to the fraction of your average non-premium season-ticket price for that period. All prices are converted to USD. So who gives you the most suds for the buck in the NHL?
