Subdeacon Joe Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/cubs-fans-epic-beer-cup-snake-cost-almost-30000 The snake reached from the top of the upper section of center field beneath the scoreboard to the top of the lower centerfield section. And how much beer had to be consumed to make that? And how much money was spent on beer? Well some people did the math and the answer is a lot. An insanely large sum of money. Epic beer snake at the Cubs game yesterday. Quick math (h/t @jkmumford ) A ~100 ft snake at 2 cups an inch = 2,400 beers. 2,400 beers x $12 each ——— $28,800 snake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 They got some weird math experts. 2400 beers, equals $5,000 profit. That means they make $2 profit on a $12 beer. So beer cost $10 a pint up in Yankee land? Daaayyyum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 id like to think 100 cups was a lot - it would be in one sitting for me but over 28k of beer would last me well over a year at least if i bought it at my store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that at Oracle Stadium, home of the San Francisco Giants, a regular beer is 13 bucks. Craft beers run about 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what beer cost in every MLB stadium regardless of whether N or S, E or W. Beer would be roughly the same at Rangers, Braves, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Astros etc.......

Alpo Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The article said the price of the beer is $12. They also said 2400 beers, and they made $5,000 profit. $5,000 profit on 2400 beers is approximately $2 a beer profit. If the sale price is $12, and the profit is $2, the cost price is $10. It's easy to accept that beer in baseball stadiums all over the country is $12 (or more) a cup. But a cup of beer should cost (that's the charge for the beer distributor, plus the refrigeration, plus the cost of the paper cup, plus the cost of somebody to walk around selling it) about a dollar, leaving them $11 profit on their $12 beer. But since it this stadium the profit was only $2, then the cost of the beer (beer distributor plus refrigeration plus paper cup plus beer hawker) is TEN DOLLARS. Thus my surprise at the huge cost of beer up north. Not the price of beer (that is what the retailer charges for it). The cost of beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I’d bet the concession stand pays rent to the stadium. this article is from 2019 https://www.si.com/eats/2019/03/28/mlb-stadium-beer-guide-prices-full-list-best-options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 There was an episode of Bones. One of the squinterns was telling about a job he had had in the bartender, and the beer tap was running slow. Since they could find nothing wrong with the tap, they went looking in the lines, where they found a 10-ft tapeworm. That was what I thought of when I saw the title. Figured there was a snake in the beer tap line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
