The study was based off on data from SeatGeak on ticket prices for every team in the U.S., according to a press release.

“With sport playing such a huge role in American culture, the most expensive teams to watch across our top leagues is an interesting reveal,” said Brett Collson, the head of sports at GamingToday.com. “Perhaps it’s unsurprising that NFL teams are, predominantly, the most expensive to watch. The average NFL game lasts around three hours, compared to the average NBA game, usually played in around two.”

The Texas NFL team’s average ticket is 57.61% more expensive than an average NFL team, which is normally $253.47, the release said.
