...the foodie equivalent of the Vince Lombardi Trophy chosen by NFL fans are – unquestionably – chicken wings (28.6%). This will be the most consumed game day food for the new season. A favorite followed by pizza (21.8%), nachos (13.7%), burgers and sliders (13.7%). Only 1% choose fruit and sweets.

I don't think that is terribly surprising, but growing up in Wisconsin, beer brats have to be on the short list. The study says this of Packers fans:

Pittsburgh Steelers enthusiasts topped the poll for the most regular takeout diners with Green Bay Packers fans most willing to cook their homemade favorites.

Homemade, takeout, or delivery, its all great when it comes to dining and catching the big game.

For the Minnesota Vikings, here are some of their trends as a fan base:

Minnesota Vikings enthusiasts rank 6th for the biggest spenders this season. That equates to an avg. $51.70 total game day spending this year on food per person, rather than the $79.80 avg. of the biggest spender - Miami Dolphins. Pizza is the Vikings fans’ favorite game day food for the regular season.

Regardless of how you dress up your spread on gameday, football is back, and that is all that matters.
