On any given Sunday in January, tens of millions of people watch football games from their couch. And each year in February, over 100 million people gather in front of their televisions to watch the biggest winner-take-all showdown in US sports — the Super Bowl.
Some are there to root on their favorite team; some to boo a long-hated rival; and some to simply catch the commercials. Regardless of why you are tuning in to watch football, it’s the food that will really make game day special. So why not give the food stadium a shot.
Feeling industrious? You can build your own stadium structure similar to this monstrous model I created for Kingsford charcoal.
If, however, you don’t want to commit the time and resources necessary to make your own, there are several pre-fabricated stadiums on the market, including this one from Amazon.
What to cook for couchgating
With the structure in place, you only need to fill it with an array of your favorite grilled and smoked foods. We recommend food that doesn’t need a knife and fork, and the best choices can be eaten with one hand so the other is free to hold the beer. To get you started on the ultimate game day menu, here are a few of our tried-and-true football food stadium recipes. Don’t forget plenty of napkins.
