What was the price of a hot dog at a baseball game in 1967?

Answer 1

I checked a few Yankee Stadium scorecards from the 1967 era and found a price list showing the tax you had to pay for Items at the ballpark. The list is from 1969, and includes most Items but not Hot Dogs. I found something about a Hot Dog at a Football game setting you back .25 cent around 1961, so I'm going to guess in 1967 .50 cent would be tops.

Remember, you are going back to when you could get a burger, fries and a Coke, and get change back from your dollar at McDonald's. Today If you buy a Hot Dog, and a Coke at a Stadium, especially Yankee Stadium You have to take out a mortgage.

Prices really started to go up In 1973 when George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees for $10 million dollars. Today Alex Rodriguez make more than twice that amount in one year. In 1967 you had water fountains at the ballparks today you pay $3.-$4. for a bottle. The Air is free (for now)

Here is a list of items and what it cost you with the tax added (6%) in 1969 Price is followed by (todays price) * Candy ____________ .25 * Crackerjacks _______ .25 (replaced by Crunch 'n Munch :( no Prize inside box) * Cigarettes _________ .55 (0 Banned) * Beer _____________ .55 ($8.75) * Soda _____________ .25 ($6.50) * Baseball Caps _____ 1.50 * Straw Hats _______ 1.75 * Pennant _________ 1.00 * Picture Pack _______ .50 * Picture Pennant ___ 1.00 * T-Shirt ___________ 1.50 ($25.00) * Tumbler ___________ .25 * Yearbooks ________1.00 ($25.00) * Scorecards ________ .25 ($7.00) * Hot Dog __________ .50 ($7.50)
