For a wealthy individual like Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia, a $9 hot dog may not seem pricey, but he acknowledges that it’s a costly meal option for many fans who attend games.

Ishbia announced on a recent Wednesday that the Suns will introduce a budget-friendly concession menu at home games, featuring items such as hot dogs, chips, and popcorn, each priced at just $2.
“Our success begins with our fans,” Ishbia stated on social media. “As I move around the concourse during games, I notice the absence of affordable food choices for families. We’re changing that today with our new $2 value menu available at all home games for the Suns.”
He added, “Previously, a family of four would spend $98 on basic items like hot dogs, water, and popcorn. Now, they can get the same for just $24. Our community and fans are the very heart of our operations, and we are committed to building the finest basketball organization both on the field and beyond.”
A family of 4 used to spend $98 on hot dogs/water/popcorn. Now they can enjoy that same meal for $24. Our fans and community are the foundation of what we do and we will continue to invest in making this the best organization in all of basketball, on and off the court.

The online community often reacts skeptically to sincere posts, but in this case, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive and appreciative of the changes.
This is the way. More of this everywhere would be significant to fans. https://t.co/X290MiT5zW

Fans of the Minnesota Twins, another team Ishbia and his brother are reportedly interested in acquiring, also expressed their enthusiasm for the news.
