Big Game Eats Are Next-Level — $180 Burgers Included

Feb 8, 2026, 12:52 PM

Fans heading to the Big Game in San Jose today will find some seriously wild items on the stadium menu — including a $180 burger and $40 nachos.

Once you get past the sticker shock of average ticket prices ranging from $6,200 to $7,500, fans will also have to decide what fits into the food budget at the concession stands. Earlier this week, several special menu items were unveiled, headlined by the $180 “LX Hammer Burger.” The massive burger features a 3½-pound braised, bone-in beef shank, topped with blue cheese fondue and served on a brioche bun.

If that’s a little out of reach, there’s also a $40 option: Dungeness Crab Potachos, made with layers of fresh Bay Area crab over hand-cut Kennebec potato chips, smothered in Petaluma white cheddar fondue, sea salt, and chives.

Personally? I’ll be at home putting together a full spread that costs less than the nachos alone.
