Suites, Sweet Suites: The Price Tag on Tailgating in Luxury
So, you want to know how much it costs to watch the Bears get their butts kicked from the comfort of a luxury suite? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because this isn't cheap. We're talking about a price tag that could buy you a pretty decent used car, or maybe a really nice vacation. But hey, at least you won't have to deal with the crowds or the beer lines!
Suite Dreams or Nightmarish Costs?
Let's get down to brass tacks. The cost of a Chicago Bears suite is about as predictable as the Bears' offense: it varies. A lot. We're talking anywhere from $15,000 to a whopping $45,000 per game. Yeah, you read that right. That's enough to make your eyes water and your wallet weep. But hey, for that kind of cash, you get to rub elbows with the elite, enjoy gourmet food, and have your own personal restroom. So, there's that.
What affects the price?
- Opponent: If it's the Packers, expect to pay a pretty penny.
- Suite size and location: Bigger suites, better views, higher price.
- Day of the week: Primetime games (Monday or Thursday night) cost more.
Is It Worth It?
Now, before you start selling your kidney to afford a suite, let's talk about whether it's actually worth it. If you're a die-hard Bears fan with more money than sense, then absolutely, go for it. But for the rest of us mortals, maybe a tailgate party with your buddies is a more affordable (and just as fun) option.
Remember: Even if you can afford a suite, doesn't mean you should. There's something to be said for the camaraderie of the stands. Plus, you might actually get a better view of the game from the cheap seats.
