According to a new survey, the average hardcore football fan spends $90,000 on their favorite team in their lifetime.  Here's how that breaks down PER YEAR . . .

Eight tickets to home games, at the NFL average of $113 per ticket.  Some teams are WAY higher, like the Giants and the Packers, and some are WAY lower, like the 49ers and the Panthers.  But that's the average.

$380 on gas, transportation, and parking.

$400 on food and drink at the games.

$70 on clothing and team gear.

$210 on food and drinks at bars watching away games.

$113 for one ticket each year to an away game, plus another $500 on transportation and a hotel.

$250 for subscriptions to stuff like DirecTV's NFL package, other sports channels, magazines, and websites.

That adds up to $2,036 per year.  If you're a hardcore fan from age 21 through 65, over those 44 years you'll spend approximately $89,584 on your team.
