No doubt you’ve seen it before. Edible, calorific glory in the shape of a football stadium, offering a snacking opportunity never before seen by man. The crew at Holy Taco deserves our continuous props, and a humble nod of thanks for braving the world of the maiden Super Bowl snack stadium; My friends…Super Bowl excess (I need a deep breath for this), has been taken to an elite level.

The Details

Measuring a magnificent 4′ x 7′ and coming in at 110,428 calories, you would need to establish your own non-profit organization to pull this off for your own Super Bowl party. For the pros building it at Busby’s East, the too-cool-for-James Sheldon Los Angeles sports bar, it was a full 10-6 workday of well executed architectural plans, including some active tailgating in the snack stadium parking lot (Twinkie cars), while fresh broccoli florets added green as landscaped trees surrounding the stadium entrance. Sweet mercy, did my heart just stop or did my stomach try and take a bite of the photograph?

The infrastructure of this snackable beast is not what I might consider edible. If I were a termite, sure, but when something is going to bear the load of a year’s worth of snacks, it must be well constructed with more than sugar, flour, fried potatoes and corn – that and the fact that I’ve heard rumors that this will be the stadium used to lure an NFL franchise to Los Angeles, so it had to pass several inspections, including the ability to withstand significant seismic activity.

If you’re like me, and you’re slightly peeved you couldn’t break from your workday to take in this glorious piece of American culture, relax, baby…it’s all good. Break.com will have the build on display via two different videos on February 3rd and February 5th. We may not be able to rebuild the economy in this great nation, but dad gum it, we will never stop building pure awesome!
