Key takeaway There are some fun — and yes, sometimes pricey — food and drink offerings at the venues playing host to the World Cup.
Why this matters in The San Antonio
San Antonio residents traveling to World Cup host cities may find themselves among the international fans experiencing sticker shock over concession prices. The cost of beer, in particular, is drawing criticism, with some prices topping $20. This is a far cry from what locals might be used to paying at events in the Alamo City. For those attending World Cup matches in the US, Canada, and Mexico, the pricey food and drink options may be a significant added expense on top of already costly tickets and travel arrangements. As the tournament continues, it will be interesting to see how San Antonio's own vibrant food and drink scene might influence or reflect the diverse and sometimes pricey concession offerings on display at World Cup venues.
