High Stakes, Higher Price Tag: Allegiant Stadium the NFL's Most Expensive Place to Propose

In honor of a fast-approaching Valentine's Day, it's time to revisit the age-old question: Which NFL stadium is the most affordable if you're thinking about popping the question?

We'll visit the lower end of the spectrum later – but if you're wondering which marriage proposal is the most extravagant, it probably won't surprise you at all to find out that Vegas is at the top of the list. Allegiant Stadium owns the distinction of charging the highest price for a video-board marriage proposal of any venue in the NFL, and it isn't particularly close.

The 65,000-seat home of the Las Vegas Raiders charges a whopping $1,500 per stadium proposal, double the next-highest fee. But great news for Philadelphia Eagles fans: You can get your all-important question on the big screen for only slightly more than an order of Chickie's & Pete's Crabfries.

Key Takeaways

💍 Allegiant Stadium is one of only 14 NFL venues to allow video-board marriage proposals

💍 Ball Arena charges the highest fee for an arena proposal of any NBA venue

💍 Proposing at a Calgary Flames game is far pricier than at any other NHL arena

💍 Major League Baseball has the highest number of venues allowing proposals

NFL Stadium Proposal Costs

(Updated Jan. 10, 2026)

🏈 Average proposal cost: $377

It's fitting that Allegiant Stadium comes in with the highest cost for in-stadium proposals; after all, Las Vegas probably offers more ways to spend $1,500 in an instant than any other city in the United States.

Miami's Hard Rock Stadium is alone in second, with the home of the Dolphins attaching a $750 price tag to a video board proposal. Raymond James Stadium (which hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and SoFi Stadium (where the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers call home) sit tied for third at $500 each.

As for the cheapest NFL venue for proposals, that distinction belongs to Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, where Eagles fans can attempt to secure a fiance(e) for the low cost of $25.

NBA Arena Proposal Costs

🏀 Average proposal cost: $256

Lovestruck sports aficionados looking for a venue to ask for a partner's hand in marriage will find NBA arenas generally more affordable than NFL stadiums. (It's also considerably less heart-wrenching to have only 19,000 people heckling you if your partner says no, as opposed to an NFL crowd of 65,000+ giving you the gears.)

Ball Arena in Colorado, home to the Denver Nuggets, is the most expensive NBA arena for marriage proposals at a whopping $1,500. There's a tie for second on the list between Detroit's Little Caesars Arena and Charlotte's Spectrum Center, both of which charge $150 for an arena proposal.

And if you're looking for the cheapest option among the 10 NBA arenas that allow in-venue marriage proposals, Phoenix's Footprint Center and Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse both come in at a rather affordable $50 – leaving proposers with plenty of cash to upgrade that engagement ring.

NHL Arena Proposal Costs

🏒 Average proposal cost: $508

The National Hockey League is considerably less open to love than in years past; only 13 of 32 NHL arenas posting marriage proposal rates, down from 16 last year.  

Scotiabank Saddledome, home of the Calgary Flames, reportedly charged just $25 for a stadium proposal in the past, but that price tag is now up to a whopping $5,000! Here's why, according to Flames customer service:

Proposals are not part of the regular game announcements that you are referring to. Since marriage proposals require more than a two-second announcement on a scoreboard, they would be slotted into a spot in the game script that would normally be filled by a sponsor. As a result, they would be charged the same amount as sponsor which starts at $5,000.

(Handy tip: If you're proposing in Calgary, find a sponsor to help you out.)

Little Caesars Arena – home of the Detroit Red Wings – is a distant second, carrying a proposal price tag of up to $750.

Anaheim's Honda Center takes over for the Scotiabank Saddledome as the best proposal deal in the NHL at just $30.

MLB Stadium Proposal Costs

⚾ Average proposal cost: $306

Sports fans who dream of proposing during a game have more opportunities at MLB parks than any other North American pro sports venue. A whopping 21 of 30 MLB stadiums permit stadium proposals, with fees ranging from the cost of a typical Uber Eats order to the price of a decent laptop computer. 

A pair of National League ballparks own the distinction of carrying the highest price tag for a stadium marriage proposal, as Citi Field (home of the New York Mets) and Nationals Park (where the Washington Nationals play) both charge $1,500 at the top end. 

Conversely, lovestruck baseball fans in the Steel City can pop the question at PNC Park for the low, low price of just $40.
