TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Tickets for this year’s big game, featuring the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, are the costliest ever.
According to Ticket IQ, the cheapest ticket for the game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis is $3,600.
If you’re not a die-hard fan of either team, what else can you purchase for that kind of money?
WFLA’s Daisy Ruth decided to figure that out.
10. 183 cases of Bud Lite
If you’re having a party for the Big Game, you’re going to want to enjoy some beverages. At $20 a case from Walmart for that $3,600, you would be able to throw one massive party.
9. 441 cheese steaks
If you’re a fan of Philadelphia and the Eagles, a cheese steak would be perfectly paired with a beer. For the price of a ticket, you could purchase 441 cheese steaks at $8.33 each from Geno’s in Philadelphia.
8. 565 cups of clam chowder
New England fans might not think a cheese steak sounds so good for this game. Fans could purchase a total of 565 cups of clam chowder at $6.50 a cup from Durgin Park in Boston.
7. 3 Sony 70-inch 4K LED TVs
If you’re not attending the game, you’re going to need something to watch it on. Instead of one 70-inch TV, how about three for $1,198 a piece?

Adventurers who want to see more of the country rather than attend the game could fly from Boston to Philly, round-trip, for an entire week, 17 times, according to Expedia prices.
