Game day cooking grows as home kitchens replace stadium lines
High concession prices and convenience drive 121.1 million Americans to host home watch parties, fueling a $20.2 billion spending surge on game day food and supplies, experts say.
- This year, home kitchens have become the focal site as fans recreate stadium foods and host watch parties, making kitchens the busiest spot during games.
- Hosting at home offers lower cost and ingredient control, as fans recreate stadium foods to avoid high concession prices and viral menu items like Levi's Stadium's $180 dish.
- Hosts favor handheld food like sliders, pigs in a blanket and chili-topped hot dogs, along with dips and one-pot mains, while prepping ahead and using snack bar grazing boards.
- Shifted spending patterns move dollars toward ingredient and hosting investments as $20.2 billion projected spending hits $94.77 per person, with hosts racing to keep snacks flowing.
- Massive viewership and about 121.1 million Americans expect to host or attend watch parties this year, with 127.7 million viewers on average for the 2025 Sunday night matchup.
