Yes, you can eat at a Phillies game for under $15. Just skip the beer.

Forty years ago, a baseball fan could get a hot dog and beer for $5 — or about $15 in today’s dollars. But can Phillies fans still stretch that same buying power at Citizens Bank Park in 2025?

Inquirer reporters Hira Qureshi and Henry Savage set out to investigate, eating menu items around Citizens Bank Park and hunting down eats and drinks that won’t break the bank.

It’s no secret that stadium food prices can feel like daylight robbery. Some pro sports teams have responded by slashing prices — the Atlanta Falcons cut their stadium concession prices in half in 2017 and saw fans spend 30% more overall.

At Citizens Bank Park, prices haven’t dropped quite that dramatically. And yes, the beloved $1 hot dog night is now a $5 BOGO deal. Still, it’s possible to snag solid food and drink options in the $3-to-$10 range — and if you play your cards right, you can piece together a decent meal for under $15.

Just don’t count on doing it with a beer in hand. And stick to the basics.

Here’s what you need to know.

Not on a regular night. A standard hot dog is $4.99 and a small domestic beer is $11.79 — before taxes. So unless you’re time-traveling, the 1985 deal is long gone.

That doesn’t mean it’s not possible if you’re ready to get strategic. Every Friday at the Miller Lite Liberty Landing, located underneath the left field scoreboard, you can grab a 12-ounce Miller Lite can for $6.99 — from when the gates open until first pitch. Pair that with a $4.99 hot dog, and you’re at $11.98 pretax.

The Phillies host three BOGO hot dog nights at the beginning of the season, where fans can get two hot dogs for $5. However, this promo usually doesn’t coincide with Friday, so stacking the deal with the beer special is tough.

If you’re after a Surfsides XL can ($26), a craft beer ($17), or a cocktail ($15-plus), the $15 goal goes out the window. Even a nonalcoholic beer costs $7.

Here’s a breakdown of the least-expensive alcohol options. The prices at the park’s craft beer and cocktail stands are steep.

Citizens Bank Park has a “Family 4″ series of menu items for $5 each. The items below can be found at most concession stands in the park.

You can mix and match to keep each person’s total under $10.

There are plenty of relatively cheap snackable options at CBP, but getting an entrée item like a cheesesteak is usually more than $15.

And no, Crabfries didn’t make the list — as beloved as they are, they’ll cost you more than $15 even without the cheese sauce.

For pizza fans, two regular slices at general concessions cost $11.55. Want something fancier? A personal pie from Manco & Manco is $17.49 — not outrageous if you’re splitting with a buddy.
