1. Thematic Snacks
Tony C's Sports Bar and Grill, a restaurant with two Boston-area locations, is serving up football-inspired fare this season. Clever menu items include a dish called "Pig Skins," which is actually potato skins with two types of cheese, bacon, scallions, and sour cream drizzled to reflect the stitches on a football.

2. Branded Treats
To celebrate this year's National College Football Championship game in Dallas, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Joule Dallas owner Tim Headington, and advertising executive Ray Clark hosted a bash dubbed “the Night Before." Held at the Joule's new lounge Midnight Rambler on January 11, the evening offered trays filled with treats including lollipops with the logos of the game's two competing teams: Ohio State University and the University of Oregon. Lara Beth Seager, vice president of Global Hospitality for the Marketing Arm, planned the event.

6. Or, Astroturf on the Buffet
Astroturf can also be used in other spots. Food service company Sysco Metro NY served tacos and other hors d’oeuvres from a station covered in Astroturf at Jets & Chefs: the Ultimate Tailgate hosted by former quarterback Joe Namath and Mario Batali. The event was held as part of the New York City Wine & Food Festival in 2013.

Whimsical Snacks
Another station offered "Adult Snow Cones" by Jo Snow. The icy, boozy snacks came in flavors such as ginger with whiskey and strawberry-mint-balsamic with vodka.

When hiring multiple food trucks, lining the perimeter of a venue with food trucks is an effective way to space them out.
