High Stakes, Higher Price Tag: Allegiant Stadium the NFL's Most Expensive Place to Propose
Las Vegas has been the unofficial "Marriage Capital of the World" for more than seven decades – but popping the question at Sin City's NFL stadium will leave you feeling like you spent a little too much time at the blackjack table.
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.
Key Takeaways
💍 Allegiant Stadium is one of only 12 NFL venues to allow video-board marriage proposals
💍 Chase Center charges the highest fee for an arena proposal of any NBA venue
💍 Proposing at a New York Islanders game is pricier than at any other NHL arena
💍 Major League Baseball has the highest number of venues allowing proposals

Lovestruck sports aficionados looking for a venue to ask for a partner's hand in marriage will find NBA arenas much 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.)
Chase Center in San Francisco, home to the Golden State Warriors, is the most expensive NBA arena for marriage proposals at a whopping $250. 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.

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 23 of 29 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 $35. It's the only pro sports venue in Pittsburgh that allows marriage proposals, while three of rival Philadelphia's four major sports venues permit proposals.
