The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks kick off the NFL season this Wednesday, hosting the New England Patriots in a rematch of February’s massive game. While we’re all counting down the seconds until Mike Macdonald’s squad hits Lumen Field, some other teams around the league are trying to steal the spotlight with wild new concession menus.

Forget the Field, Check Out These Game Day Feasts

Over in Indianapolis, the Colts are rolling out some truly unique grub for their fans. They are serving up football-shaped tater tots, and you can get them loaded with Buffalo chicken, Philly cheesesteak, or even vegan street-style toppings. Seriously, football-shaped tots! Beyond those, Colts fans can grab loaded footlong corn dogs, various dirty sodas, and a limited supply of carved prime rib sandwiches. They are even putting up a live countdown inside Lucas Oil Stadium so fans know exactly how many prime rib sandwiches are left. That’s a whole new level of game day strategy right there. College stadiums are getting in on the action too, with DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium offering a footlong brisket nacho dog and Katsu Corn Dogs, while L&N Stadium in Louisville is serving smoked chicken Chimichurri nachos over Cool Ranch Doritos.

Are the Dolphins Trying to Distract Their Fans?

Down in Miami, it sounds like the Dolphins might be preparing for a tough season on the field. The word is their “on-field product looks like it might leave something to be desired this season,” so they are going all out to keep fans happy with their menu. They’ve got the Miami Dog, which is a footlong hot dog packed with classic Cuban sandwich flavors, and the Euro PBfit Dog, which puts a hot dog with PB Fit and sweet guava marmalade on a crusty baguette. Then there’s the Giant Cuban, a two-foot sandwich loaded with roasted pork, honey ham, Swiss cheese, their secret sauce, and homemade dill pickles. They are even dishing out 305 Sliders and the La Frita Smash, a Cuban frita with a seasoned beef and pork patty topped with crispy shoestring potatoes. Sounds like they are banking hard on those food sales if their team struggles. Missouri is also getting in on the fun with hand-breaded Southern-style Tiger Tenders and Kansas City burnt end hot dogs.

This Wednesday, the NFL season kicks off, and it’s time for our Seahawks to start defending that Super Bowl title. We’ve got the Patriots coming into Lumen Field, and the stakes couldn’t be higher to start the season strong. Forget the fancy tater tots for a minute, because what we really want to see is that championship banner flying high and a dominant performance from Mike Macdonald’s team on the actual field. Let’s go Hawks!
