Food at a sports championship
Lessons from feeding a padel championship and a calisthenics championship.
Players and fans eat at different times
Players eat between matches. Fans eat whenever they like. Keep food out through the day, not just at one break.
Make it quick to pick up
Nobody wants to queue between matches. A bar with clear signs, or bowls ready to pick up, keeps things moving.
Keep it healthy
At a sports event, healthy food fits the message. Players notice when the food on offer matches the sport.
Think about the venue
Courts and arenas get hot. Tell us about the space so we can work out where the food goes and keep it cold.
