Boston ranks among the most expensive cities in the U.S. to watch the Super Bowl, according to an analysis of average monthly television charges for cable and satellite services.
Boston residents pay an average $54.58 a month to watch television, the ninth-highest cost in the country, according to WhiteFence.com, which reviewed about 400,000 orders placed on its websites for major national cable and satellite television service providers between July and December 2011.
The most expensive city is Dallas at $60.76, which is 28 percent higher than the $47.42 per month that residents in Denver, one of the least expensive cities based on the research, paid on average in that same period, WhiteFence said.
Second on the list was New York City, at $57.67 per month, followed by Indianapolis’ $56.61. Rounding out the top 10 are Washington D.C.; San Diego; Los Angeles; Charlotte, NC; Philadelphia; and Las Vegas.
