The 2026 Hot Dog Index · Updated —

Dogflation.

Every ballpark charges whatever it wants for a hot dog. We tracked all 30. The spread is criminal — and the receipts are below.

A Dodger Dog is 10 inches. At $7.99, that's 80 cents per inch. The Cardinals raised their price 37% since 2024. The hot dog did not improve. You could eat one dog at every ballpark for $169. We called it the Glizzy Grand Tour. Angel Stadium went from $6.17 to $8.00. The team went nowhere. The price did. The Yankees charge $3.08 per dog. The tickets cost $200. Make that make sense. Chase Field at $3.07. Arizona: where the heat index is high and the hot dog price isn't. The Marlins charge $3.08. Their payroll and their frank price have a lot in common. Fenway charges $6.50. The most historic park in baseball charges a historically annoying price. loanDepot park: $3.08 for a frank. Miami has officially beaten Wall Street at one thing. Coors Field is $5.25. At 5,280 feet above sea level, the hot dog still hits the same.

The receipts

The most expensive hot dog in the league costs 2.6× more than the cheapest. Same six inches of beef. Same standard bun. You're paying $4.93 for the zip code.

The Dog Divide

Cheapest 5 · Priciest 5

Same tube of beef. Same bun. $3.07 at one park, $8.00 at another. Here's who still believes in the working-class frank — and who doesn't.

How We Count A Hot Dog

The Glizzy Standard

The Standard Dog

Cheapest plain all-beef frank (~6 inches, standard bun) at a main concession stand. Standard price only — no promos, no footlongs, no gourmet. A $5 dog in St. Pete measures the same as a $5 dog in St. Louis.
