I highly doubt it. It’s probably like $5 for a single 12oz can. The kind you could buy a 6 pack of for the same price.
In that same breath, $13 beers are just insane. There’s no logistical cost or reason for them being that expensive other than they have you restricted as a captive audience. It doesn’t cost them nearly that much, but you’ll pay it, because otherwise it’s nothing. And baseball without beer should just be classified as a genevia level form of torture.
The baseball team by me does $5 hot dog specials on certain days. $8 ain’t atypical for ballpark dogs sadly. Also $10 for nachos is cheaper than I’ve seen. It’s why I’ll only go if I can grab $20ish dollar seats, cause after food its closer to $50 for the day per person.
Okay, but unless these are gourmet nachos, gourmet hot dogs, and gourmet mountain dew, this is still gouging before the Miller Lites.

I can also see some benefit to having fewer drunk people in a stadium, but I’m sure it’s mostly just profit chasing.
I was mostly just making a joke about Gourmet Mountain Dew, and that the point remains that stadium prices are insane.
Yes that’s stadium pricing. Pay $10-$15 for a hot dog that makes the Costco $1.50 hot dog look gourmet.
The Costco $1.50 hot dog is gourmet!
Or at least it was, until they stopped giving out sauerkraut and brown mustard <grumble, grumble>
But seriously though, Costco hot dogs are objectively excellent, regardless of price.
$4 for a stadium hotdog seems reasonable
The receipt says $8 per hot dog.

Oh yeah… math is hard.
$8 sounds about what you’d pay. Captive audience and all that. But that’s definitely the gouging.
