In a world of constant inflation and sky-high stadium food prices, the Atlanta Falcons could become one of the most fan-friendly teams in all of sports.

Atlanta’s newest home field is Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Falcons fans will be able to purchase concessions at prices most fans can only dream of. ESPN’s Darren Rovell tweeted an image of the expected rates on Tuesday.

Unsurprisingly, people went wild at this news.

Buying expensive stadium concessions can be frustrating for fans. In 2015, for example, the combined price of a hot dog, soda and small beer at a San Francisco 49ers game was $22, meaning a group of four People could easily spend over $100 on food.

But that’s not a problem at Mercedes-Benz Stadium – not with its low prices. Fans will be able to purchase the same hot dog meal for just $9, which is much more in line with grocery store prices, or perhaps fast food prices.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he allowed the low prices in an effort to better accommodate fans.

We have focused from the start on creating a unique fan experience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the goal of helping those who visit the stadium leave the stadium with fond memories shared with family and friends, without aggravation or frustration about their experience,” he said in a statement.

The Falcons will play their first regular season game in the new stadium on September 17, hosting the Green Bay Packers. Expect the concession stands to be as popular as the action on the field.
