Fans inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans are shelling out $14 for a draft Bud Light while they watch Super Bowl LIX.

The big picture: One of the specialty cocktails in the Dome is going for $40.

  • A 16-ounce bottle of Bud Light is $13, and bottles of Aquafina are $7 at concession stands.
  • A fountain drink in a souvenir cup will set you back $12.

Zoom out: The prices are a little higher than a regular Saints game.

  • Last season, draft beer was $11.49 and cans were $14.99. Dasani bottled water was $5.29 and soda was $9.99.

  • Sodexo Live runs the Superdome’s food and beverage program.

The other side: It’s cheaper to party at home, but those prices are climbing too, writes Axios’ Ashley Mahoney.

  • The average cost for a party of 10 people is $139, a 0.1% increase compared to last year, according to Wells Fargo’s Agri-Food Institute’s Super Bowl Food Report. Go deeper.
