On the watch-and-play side, custom sports viewing walls consisting of nearly 100 high definition screens provide unprecedented access to nearly every major college and professional sporting event, including important bowl games, track races, tournaments, and championship match-ups.
On the dining end, the menu features Lagasse’s play on game-day favorites such as Game-Day Nachos; a few of his “New Orleans” style dishes, plus some surprising re-inventions of American classics. Even on non-game days, there is plenty of culinary action to keep fans involved in the new venue with items such as Emeril’s New Orleans Shrimp, a Creole Ruben, Muffaletta Pasta, Grilled Filet of Beef, Slow Roasted Half Chicken, and Funnel Cake.
“As a long-time season ticket holder, on big game days you’ll find me tailgating with friends and supporting my favorite teams,” says Emeril Lagasse. “I’m happy to team up again with our friends at The Palazzo to create the ultimate sports establishment. At Stadium, we’ll be serving serious food for serious fans.”
