I am so grateful to have been featured in an issue of Woman’s World Magazine for my Supreme Snack Stadium! Check it out below!
I started with spice racks that I already had in my pantry. These spice racks are elevated, and resemble stairs. Then, I went searching for other containers, and I found 4 x 9 inch BIN BOXES at my local Box Store, that were very inexpensive, to hold all of the snacks!
You will be able to find them here, although I was only able to find them in bulk.
You can also use magazine holders, or make your own by cutting some cereal or snack boxes on an angle!
I placed six bin boxes on each side of the spice racks, to create a rectangular/octagon shape.

Then I had this idea to get some poster board, and cut them around 7-8 inches wide, and to the height of the bin boxes, about 4 1/2 inches high, and they fit right into the backside gap of the bin box.
You can also tape them onto the bin boxes if you prefer, but sliding them into the narrow gap, worked just fine for me. So now, instead of having just 12 compartments for snacks, I have created 20! This stadium measures a whopping 43 x 33 inches. Imagine the possibilities! This is optional, but boy, did it create a big Snack Stadium!
I also found some football themed toothpicks, and I cut the banner off of them, and taped them to ribbon, and taped the ribbon to paper straws, that I covered covered skewers with, to create pennant banners! Just tape the paper straw covered skewers to the inside of the bin boxes, and stick a Football Pennant Toothpick in the straws to create a flag!
I then connected the pennant ribbon to a few of the straw covered skewers with double stick tape, and now we have a Party! I also cut out a banner from the poster board and I used Colored Pencils to create the Snack Stadium banner!
How To Make A Supreme Snack Stadium!

1 – 13 x 9 pan
2 – 4 x 9 pans for TOSTITOS® salsa

Double Sided Tape
Tape
Paper Straws
Colored Pencils
12 inch skewers
Football Themed Print-outs
Scissors
Begin by arranging the bin boxes, around the tin foil pans, to create stadium type seating for your snacks. Cardboard magazine holders also make wonderful snack compartments. I just lined them with some green tissue paper to create a filler. I had the tissue paper lying around from the holidays, so that was perfect!
Arrange the snack trays around the cake/baking pan, that will become the playing field made of your favorite guacamole!
You can fill some of the compartments with tissue paper, to add volume to your snack trays, and add leafy greens to layer veggies!
On the outside of the Snack Stadium, I used double stick tape to place football graphics, and used the packaging from some of the snacks, to create sponsors for the Big Game! And football themed toothpicks to the outside of the bin boxes, and such. With this kind of showpiece, you can really use your imagination, and DIY some fantastic looking decorations! I also placed a tablet above the stands, to create a jumbo-tron! I just taped my tablet to a Necklace holder, and it created the perfect stand!
The fans that will come over to your house for the Big Game, will love to look at the stadium, and enjoy all the yummy snacks!
This Snack Stadium was so big, that when it was taken down, we kind of felt like something was missing from the house! We all got used to passing by just to graze! It was crazy fun!
Be sure to use a plastic tablecloth
I set up this whole thing on top of a football themed plastic tablecloth, so that when it is time to clean up, just remove the tablet, and the spice racks, then just bundle up everything by gathering the ends of the tablecloth, and place the bundle in the trash. Don’t worry about there being leftovers to pack up, because there will not be any.
Here are a few Printables that you can cut out and paste or tape to your ribbon and attach to your Snack Stadium!
