Step 1: You’ll need eight magazine holders. These can be purchased online or at your local office supply store. Note: If you can’t find any, you can always trim a few empty cereal boxes for a similar effect.
Step 2: Using the construction paper, scissors, markers and glue stick, customize each magazine holder to match your favorite football team.
Step 3: To make arranging snacks easier, stuff the bottom of each magazine holder with parchment paper.
Step 4: Next, arrange your stadium, leaving space for the field (9” x 13” pan filled with your favorite dip).
Step 5: Arrange each of the magazine holders with your favorite snacks. Lettuce can create a nice garnish to add color to your stadium.
Step 6: Fill your 9” x 13” pan with guacamole and paint on the yard lines with sour cream. A piping bag will help you create clean lines.
Step 7: Using toothpicks and construction paper, up your team spirit with pennant flags by cutting out double-sided triangles and gluing them around the toothpicks. Attach them to the tops of your magazine holders using glue or clear tape.
Step 8: Grab a nugget, have a seat. It’s game time.
Your snack stadium can work with nearly any Chick-fil-A catering tray. See the full range of catering options and place your pick-up or delivery order with your local Chick-fil-A restaurant.
