Now that the holidays are past us, it feels like football season is rushing by, leading up to the Big Game. My family has really enjoyed watching and talking about football lately and it would be a lot of fun to host some of our friends one weekend soon. And what better way to present food, than with a snack stadium? I love when my food looks fun and if I can incorporate a few craft projects into the mix, I’m a happier person.
I started with a few of my favorite things: SNICKERSĀ® Minis, SkittlesĀ®, Diet Pepsiā¢, TOSTITOSĀ® Scoops and TOSTITOSĀ® Medium Chunky Salsa. I also threw in some STARBURSTĀ® candies. All of these items were easy to find at Walmart (and you can find them on their website.)
I love the mixture of sweet and salty. And I thought it would be fun to make SNICKERSĀ® Minis and SkittlesĀ® “fans” on opposite sides of the stadium. (The plastic container was something I had purchased.) Baking cups were used for the salsa – can’t have any double dipping. The baking cups also allow people to grab one and get back to the game. For easier access to pick up the back cups of salsa, they’re actually propped up on rolls of washi tape (and who didn’t realize washi tape served more useful purpose than just being pretty?)
Down on the field, we had a salsa referee and some STARBURSTĀ® players. Every game obviously needs a football. The referee is holding one – and I created a printable of the footballs, if you’re interested in printing these for your next football party. I thought it would be fun to print several footballs for decorations, but then I decided to go for pennants. Simply print that sheet, use a punch (mine was 1.5 inches round) and punch two out. With one of your lollipop sticks in between the two circles, glue it closed.
Using more washi tape and lollipop sticks (the sticks are for cake pops), I created pennants. You could write team names on these if you prefer. I wrapped the washi tape around the top of the stick and cut the ends of my pennants. I really love the glittery look.
A stadium wouldn’t be a stadium without goal posts. And scoreboards! I made the posts with by wrapping washi tape around two straws to connect them. They’re sitting within the candy so they wouldn’t fall. The scoreboards are small chalkboards with a clip on the back. I secured them with more washi tape.

How do you celebrate the Big Game?
This is so cute! What a clever use of washi tape.
I am coming to your house for the game! I love your stadium set up!
This is such a cute way to serve snacks at a football party. Love how you made the goal posts! So creative.
I LOVE this! You covered all the bases. You’ve got some salty, some sweet. Yummo.
This is so festive for a Super Bowl party! It looks like a battle against chocolate and fruity candies. I have to root for Snickers, myself!
This is such a great idea. I normally go over and watch the game with my dad. I think he would enjoy a snack stadium.
A snack stadium is such a cute idea. I need to do this next time I have a football or Super Bowl party.
This is such a cute snack stadium! I’d love to make one like this for the guys. They’d love all of those treats.
What a creative way to celebrate your love of football! I’d love to make something like this.
This is so much fun. It is perfect for the big game.
This is simply adorable! What a great way to get all your snacks in one place too. Love it.
That’s a really cute Snackadium! Though, those snacks wouldn’t even make it to the game as I’d gobble them all up before it even started!
This is very clever. The snack stadium will be a big hit on game day. Everything looks good and will bring a smile to each guest’s face.
The stadium is such a fun way to display all your game day snacks! I need to stock up for the big game! Some people are in it for the commercials, but I’m all about the snacks (ohhh and those that watch the game!).
I love your little snack bar. It’s so cute. You can’t go wrong on game day with these types of snacks! YUM!
Cute a snack stadium! I love the little arrangement this would be so cute and festive for kids on GameDay!
A snack stadium is a fantastic idea. My family would love it. I will have to make one for the next game.
What a fun way to get in to the game day spirit! I commend you! This is so detailed and so spot on!
So sad that the KC Chiefs lost. But we did have some great food tonight while we watched the game.
Girl… my Chiefs lost today!! No more celebrating our home team.. but this is such a cute idea. Will have to use this for the big big Superbowl game š No tears here!
Wow what a great snack stadium!! This would be a necessity at any game day party!
I love this! What a clever and festive idea! Perfect stadium snacks for watching the big game.
This is really cute. I love how you used the star bursts for the teams.
I’ve always wanted tot ry and make a snack stadium for our Super Bowl parties! This looks like a winner, love the colors!
I am definitely not this creative, first off. This looks like so much fun! I want to make one of these now.
This is a brilliant idea! I’ll have to try it out this football season!
