Dodgers fans love the team’s newest souvenir cup.
Its price, however? Not so much.
On Friday, during the Dodgers’ matchup with the Rangers, Los Angeles offered its supporters for the first time in 2026 a plastic drinking vessel that was made to look like a cooler, and while it was an immediate fan favorite, the cost certainly left a sour taste in some of its consumers’ mouths.
“I mean, s—t,” Dodgers fan Adriana Gonzales told The California Post after she ordered one with tequila and Red Bull in it. “I was not expecting almost $50 for one.”
The item’s official price tag is $39.99, but with taxes, it easily cleared the $40 mark. And nearly every fan The Post spoke with at Dodger Stadium believed that was simply gouging.
“My first words were, like,” Silvia Verdugo said, “‘I cant believe we just spent $45 on a cup.’”
Most, though, said the trinket ultimatley felt worth it in the end.
“I mean,” Eric Huitron said, “it’s Dodger Stadium and they’re going to make their money. You pay a premium here no matter what. You can see everybody thinks it’s worth it because they wouldn’t be in line if they didn’t.”
The Dodgers had initially planned to sell the mug on Opening Day last month, but fans said they were told shipping issues pushed back their arrival by two weeks.
Gerald Encininas told The Post when the Dodgers announced on Friday morning that they’d be available for the first time, he made up his mind he was going to get one, “intense” price or not.
“It’s worth it for the experience,” he said. “I’ll be using it at home.”
It’s the second cup that’s caused a stir at Dodgerr Stadium this year — a Shohei Ohtani-themed tumbler and its $79.99 price tag alarmed fans during LA’s season opener.
Unfortunately for those who opened up their wallets on Friday, the new cup doesn’t come with free refills like the Ohtani one.
But, Gonzales did admit she got good news when she first sipped her beverage.
“It’s strong,” she said with a laugh.
