Yes, throwing the ball into the stands has had a standard fine for a long time. I think it used to be $750, but was upped to $2500 a few years ago. Maybe it's been upped again to $5k?
As for the price of the football, MSRP of an official Wilson game ball is $110. Amazon sells them for $80, and I'm sure the NFL gets a good deal on the 36 game balls they use for each game.
