Getting absolutely rinsed at Madison Square Garden<\/a> apparently isn\u2019t limited to whatever happens on the ice. Rangers fans face the NHL\u2019s most expensive concession order, according to a new analysis<\/a>\u2014and the main culprit? A hot dog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Casino.org compared concession prices across all 32 NHL arenas this October, adding up one beer, one soft drink and two hot dogs at each venue. At MSG, that order comes to a mind-boggling $96, before you even pay to watch hockey.\u00a0The Garden\u2019s total includes a $16 beer, an $8 soft drink and two $36 TopDog Five Pounders. The oversized specialty dog comes loaded with shaved beef, peppers, onions, sriracha cheddar and crispy onion strings. (Subtle, it is not.)<\/p>\n

Before you swear off arena food forever, note this caveat: this ranking doesn\u2019t compare identical hot dogs. Researchers used current-season signature dogs where prices were available, substituting standard hot dogs elsewhere. MSG\u2019s extravagant entry therefore competes with some considerably simpler snacks. The $96 figure reflects the study\u2019s chosen basket, not what every Rangers fan should expect to spend.<\/p>\n

Still, the gap is enough to make you reconsider that second dog. The Los Angeles Kings finish a distant second at $52 for your average hockey-game concessions, followed by the Minnesota Wild at $50. Tampa Bay Lightning fans face a $48 basket, while the Florida Panthers round out the five most expensive at $46.<\/p>\n

At the other end, Montreal Canadiens fans get the cheapest order: $20.83 in U.S. dollars for a beer, a soft drink and two Habsdogs. That makes the Rangers\u2019 basket roughly 361% more expensive. You also don\u2019t even have to leave New York State to find a substantially cheaper option. Buffalo Sabres fans\u2019 basket totals $25, including two Sahlen\u2019s hot dogs for $8 combined. <\/p>\n

As for washing it all down, MSG shares the study\u2019s highest beer price with the Vegas Golden Knights at $16. Islanders fans aren\u2019t exactly escaping cheaply, either: UBS Arena lists beer at $15.<\/p>\n

The lesson for your next Rangers outing? Check which hot dog you\u2019re ordering before casually asking for two. At these prices, your hot dog should at least get its own seat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getting absolutely rinsed at Madison Square Garden apparently isn\u2019t limited to whatever happens on the ice.
