Last year, I wrote about how the Philadelphia Phillies, disturbingly, had the cheapest beer prices in Major League Baseball.

For $5, fans could get a 21-ounce beer. That works out to 24 cents an ounce.

But this year, that great honor goes to the Pittsburgh Pirates, who not only have the second-lowest average ticket price in the league ($15.39), but also have the lowest beer price.

This season, the Pirates will be charging $4.75 for a 21-ounce beer, according to Team Marketing Report. That means they are doing it for a cent per ounce cheaper than the Phillies did it last year.

The most expensive brew goes to the Boston Red Sox, who are charging $7.25 for a 12-ounce cold one. That's 60 cents an ounce. I don't think that's Sam Adams either. http://www.cnbc.com/id/30027274/site/14081545

There was an injury so there was a solid 10 minute delay and they were playing clips from SNL on the jumbo tron to pass the time, and when the clip stopped playing the fans boo'd. It was like a family's night out more than anything, a lot of parents with young kids just talking to each other and not even paying attention to the game. We had to tell the guys around us who Carl Crawford and BJ Upton were.

The stadium is nice although set up like a minor league ballpark, getting in and out was very easy as pharmcat said and parking was cheap. The area around the stadium is really nice too, but I think the fans kind of hurt the experience for me. I'm not generalizing Pirates fans here, every team has some fans like that, I may have just been around the wrong people.
