The sports economy is unaffordable at the bar, let alone the stadium

A survey by Intuit Credit Karma and The Harris Poll reveals rising sports costs are pricing fans out of bars and stadiums, with 1 in 5 fans avoiding watch parties due to expenses like $12 beers. Fans are split between taking on debt to attend high-cost events (e.g., $279,804 Knicks courtside tickets) or cutting back entirely, with 16% now unable to afford live events they previously could.
