How to Make a Baseball Snack Stadium
It is baseball playoff time. Come learn how to make a Baseball Snack Stadium for your World Series watch party.
I’m a baseball fan, and the Chicago Cubs are my favorite team. They had the best record in baseball this year and are in the playoffs.
We will be hosting many watch parties in hopes of our beloved Cubbies winning the World Series.
**THE CHICAGO CUBS ENDED UP WINNING THE WORLD SERIES A MONTH AFTER I POSTED THIS!!**
I’ve created a football snack stadium, and now it’s time for a baseball-themed snack stadium.
Below, I will show you how to make your own baseball snack stadium, along with ideas for throwing a baseball-themed party, along with free baseball party printables.
DIY Baseball Snack Stadium
I did not have to spend too much on this project. I just purchased two 20″ x 30″ foam boards and some food containers.
The plastic containers were purchased from Dollar Tree. Get the directions at the bottom of this post.
I already had some white utility tape on hand from my other snack stadiums.
This baseball snack stadium went together in under an hour. This snackdium and be stored for use year after year!
How to Host a Baseball Party
Throw a baseball party to cheer on your favorite team or to celebrate a birthday with these free party printables.
The centerpiece of the party was the snack stadium. After I created the stadium, I made some printables to decorate it with. I created blue and red strips with baseballs to adorn the outside of the stadium and the back of the bleachers. While this is not a replica of Wrigley Field, I did print out copies of ivy over brick to place on the outfield wall. I also created a small W flag to fly over the stadium. The link to the snack stadium decorations is near the bottom of the post.
I filled the infield with guacamole and placed salsa in the bases. Tortilla chips made up the outfield. Popcorn and peanuts filled the outfield bleachers. Party attendees will also love Bacon Mac & Cheese Cupcakes.
Other great party food includes Pizza Bite Stackers and Team Colors Snack Mix.
You can’t go to the stadium without having a hot dog, so they were included in our party. Condiments were served in shot glasses. There were veggies and Ranch Bacon Cream Cheese Dip in a baseball mitt dip tray, water bottles with cute baseball labels, sunflower seeds, candy, and cupcakes with baseball picks in them.
Free Sports Party Decor
Decorations included many of our Cubbie decor. The party was laid out on some old baseball fabric I have. I grabbed the free baseball banners here and created the water bottle labels and food picks myself. You can download those here and the baseball stadium decorations here (automatic download when clicked). The baseball plates were created by drawing red stitching onto a white paper plate.
Sports fans will love throwing a Football Party with its own snack stadium.

Thanks! I’m using this idea to use at our baseball themed Teacher Appreciation week. We are doing a 7th Inning Stretch Concession Stand and this will be perfect to hold popcorn, peanuts, and Cracker-Jax. Can I share your post on my blog? #GoCubsGo
Daniel, They can be downloaded from the bottom of the post.
Great work! Thank you for sharing. Where can I get the printings for decoration?
Thank you!
The green ivy on the outfield walls was just a stock image I printed out from the internet and taped together on the walls. I hope your son has a great birthday…in October!
How did you get the green “grass” outfield? I love this idea! I plan to make this for my son’s birthday this October!
Thanks, Lisa.
The game is about to start and our stadium is full of snacks.
The game is about to start and I am so excited!!
This is SUPER cute! Go cubbies!

What a fun idea! Pinning!
Our post season begins today!

Oh my goodness! This is fabulous. I can think of so many gatherings and parties that will be better with this. Thanks!
Now that is some serious crafting right there. I love how that turned out. It’s such fun for game days!
Definitely salty!
Thanks!
Yes! After the playoffs I will keep it for a birthday party.
Now this is pretty high-tech and cool for playoffs. I would fill mine with lost of salty goodies to munch on.
This is such a great idea. It’s perfect for football parties. I just love it! I’ll need to make one of these for the superbowl.
What an adorable idea! I’ll have to bookmark this for sports events for my nieces and nephews. This would be so cute at a boys birthday party!
I can’t wait to see the Cubs play and lay out the snacks in this for people to see.
I’ll be filling with chips and dips soon.
Thank you, Jeanette.
They are so much fun and perfect for viewing parties.
I saw the highlights of Tuesday’s wild card game. It sure looked like it was rocking up there in Canada, eh?
Yes. I have kept my football and basketball stadiums I made earlier this year and am ready to reuse them too.
Thank you!
I need to go get the food to fill it up for our party.
This is such a cool idea. I will have to get the supplies I need to make one this weekend.
This is a very inventive idea! I really like the effect it presents and could see its uses.
Oh my goodness, this is so super-cool. I love this idea. What a fun way to change things up and add some pizzaz to any party or gathering
We are not big sports fans in this house but my husband has been following the Toronto Blue Jays (we’re Canadian) this year. I am loving the baseball snack stadium.
This is such a cool idea. I never thought of making a snack stadium before.
That is so creative! I am SO not good at creative so I am glad you are and that you are willing to share! LOVE IT!
That is so great! I can’t wait to make one of these and then fill it up with all kinds of goodies. Om nom nom.
Okay, what a darling idea! I bet it will look adorable filled with snacks!
