Providing food and beverage service to more than six million football fans each year, at 10 NFL stadiums, Aramark partners with more NFL teams and serves more football fans than any other hospitality company. 

With large crowds to feed, Aramark's culinary team went to work in the off-season, to create a fresh lineup of new concessions items and stadium innovations for the ultimate taste bud touchdown fans are rooting for. Aramark's culinary team examined the latest food trends and fan feedback to develop menus that cater directly to each stadium's hungry fan base.  

"Food plays a huge role in any stadium event, and is an integral part of what makes the stadium experience come to life," said Carl Mittleman, President of Aramark's Sports and Entertainment division. "This NFL season, we elevated stadium classics by listening to our fans and introducing new menu concepts we are proud to serve on game day."
