A college football fan was left stunned after being charged an eye-watering three-figure sum for pizza and chicken at a game on Saturday.
Sports bettor Bill Krackomberger revealed on X that one of his friends was hit with an insane bill after ordering food in a VIP suite at Allegiant Stadium, where the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was taking on San Diego State.
After receiving six slices of pepperoni pizza and a standard bucket of tenders, the friend in question had to fork out a staggering $653.
Krackomberger shared photos online of the food and the check, which shows that the pizza alone was priced at an inexplicable $300 - working out as $50 per slice.
The 'crispy chicken tenders' then cost $190, while there was also just over $163 to pay in administrative charges and taxes.
The pizza sold to the fan in the Allegiant Stadium suite appears to have come from Las Vegas restaurant 'Pizza Rock'.

SHADES OF YOGI BERRA
here is the cost from a previous season at Allegiant.
Note where it says serves 10. their $190 wings serves 10
The food the guy ordered was suppose to serve 10. So $190 for wings for 10. Although, not sure how that pizza was suppose to serve 10
Suite prices and minimums for delivery...
Would’ve cost less if they went and got it themselves but, what is the point of being in a suite...
I use to have box seats a certain venue here in Bay Area. Drinks cost way more but, I never left the concert...
Don’t care....
Let that be a lesson to you (I guess).
I guess I would have to be like at the movie theater. Take me a $1 box of milk duds in my purse.
Just kinda the way it works.
Dey needs a ShaneekaLaquan up in there..
$65 would have been too expensive
That’s a sorry looking Pizza. If that’s what I got, I’d send it back and tell them to cook in properly. At any price.
Allegiant had 4 pizzas that served 10 for $320. But they might be the size of those pizzas you used to be able to get on sale for $1. I think it was Totinos.
At least turn the blowtorch down to Medium.
Regardless of who Papa John's sponsors, pizza is not football stadium food. If you can't eat it with one hand and throw it at the other team's fans, it's out.
They could have ordered hot dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, or cheesesteaks. Depending on the stadium, maybe bratwurst, or kielbasi.
lol
I read that as the $1,100 chicken wings serves 10.
Wonder how much the universitys share of all the loot is?
Somebodies gotta pay for the athletes...
Giving me the willies. We will *maybe* be going to a college game in a few weeks. I hope the prices aren’t this outrageous if we do go. May have to sell our tickets.
I won maybe 20 years ago a pair of tix for a suite at an NHL Hockey game. It was run by a local paper and it was their suite. All the food and drink were free to us and served by hostesses. It really spoiled you. While there I chatted with one of the people from the paper. He said the suite IIRC cost 50 grand each year and they were obligated to buy 16 tickets for each event held in the area. That would be about 80 plus basketball and hockey games plus every concert and any other event. Food and drink I think were also charged but it was unlimited. All you wanted. I have no idea what that food and beverage charge was though. He said it was used mostly for advertising clients but they held a few contests each year for their readers to attend. Near as I could tell the whole thing was written off as a business expense so ultimately we tax payers foot the bill.
Some areas say 1500 for 10 with no price listed. So I am thinking it is everything in that paragraph for $1500.
But then it says a la carte items serve 10 so 190 for wings would seem to indicate serving 10.
At least with the vegas cocktail they tell you how many you get - 30 pieces for $250
I am so darn cheap I would not be eating at those prices but if I was willing to pay it I would be hacked off at how bad those pics are of the pizza and wings
