This Sunday, tens of thousands of fans will fill the University of Phoenix stadium to watch two teams battle for the ultimate prize in American football: the title of Super Bowl champion. But there’s another title that’s being claimed in Arizona this week: the world’s largest snack stadium!
Let’s start at the beginning. Nearly one year ago, we began brainstorming fun ways for locals to get in the big game spirit and also have a positive impact on the local Phoenix community. Once we found a partner, Phoenix-based architecture and design firm Bar Napkin Productions, theYelp Snack Stadiumbegan to take shape.
Fast forward one year and nearly 1,200 hours of work later, and this impressive monstrosity of snack-worthy deliciousness has finally become a reality. The Yelp Snack Stadium, which is housed inside the斯科特斯德时尚广场购物中心, stands over 7 feet tall, 27 feet long and 24 feet wide! Read more on the making of atYahoo! FoodandDelish. Ingredients include:
- 4 tons of Velveeta
- 4 tons of Rotel
- 2,200 bags of Boulder Canyon Chips
- 32,000 cans of Dole products
- 400 boxes of Mike and Ikes and Hot Tamales
- 50 goody bags from Harkins Theaters
- Support from GoDaddy, PayPal & PRO EM
