How to Build a Food Stadium That You Actually Want to Eat
Food stadium
Football season calls for going all out. This indulgent food stadium is packed full of your favorite game-day foods: heaping piles of pigs in a blanket, spicy chicken wings, and creamy artichoke-kale dip.
Pretzel pigs in a blanket
These little piggies make up the players and audience members in our game-day stadium. The secret to this dish is wrapping cocktail sausages in crescent rolls and boiling them before baking to create a brown pretzel exterior. Serve up with your favorite spicy mustard.

Football piggies
At the center of the field are little piggies ready to run the ball to the end zone. Create two teams by halving yellow and red cherry tomatoes. Simply scoop out the seeds to get the perfect helmets for your players. (Photo: Diana Yen)

Grassy field
When the kale and artichoke dip is bubbling in the oven, it’s ready to serve — but don’t forget the yard lines! Fill a sealable plastic bag with sour cream, cut off the tip, and carefully pipe lines onto the grassy “field.” Devour the dip with raw vegetables, pita chips, or crusty bread. (Photo: Diana Yen)
Oven-baked spicy Korean chicken wings
Game day isn’t complete without a platter of chicken wings. These oven-baked Korean wings will satisfy your need for tangy flavor and crunchy texture, but they don’t require a fryer to get you there. Get the recipe here. (Photo: Diana Yen)
Touchdown
Now you’re ready for the game to start! Football piggies are in formation and audience members are squealing loudly for their favorite teams. Along the sidelines are spicy chicken wings and your favorite snacks, making for a mouth-watering food stadium that will steal the show on Super Bowl Sunday. (Photo: Diana Yen)
In the last few years, food stadiums have become must-haves at any self-respecting Super Bowl parties. For those not familiar, a food stadium is exactly what it sounds like — a structure resembling a sports stadium, but rather than fans, players, and refs, there are dips, chicken wings, and more of your favorite game-day foods.
Over the past few years, food stadiums have become more and more popular, with the good, the bad, and the ugly showing up on sites like Pinterest.
For those who want to give this creative food trend a try but don’t want to gross out party guests with trays full of unidentifiable dips and overcooked hot dogs, Yahoo Food is here to help.
