Claims20
A food serving stadium, comprising:
- a plurality of stringers, the stringers each having a plurality of plateaus arranged in an ascending manner from a front to back to provide a stairstep shape along a top side, the front to back defined from a front of the stringers to a back of the stringers;
- a plurality of runners, the runners each shaped to removably attach between a two or more of the stringers, wherein each runner is shaped in a horizontal manner to provide a support surface for display of food, wherein each support surface spans from a forward end closer to the front of the stringers to a rearward end closer to the back of the stringers;
- a plurality of risers, the rises each shaped to removably attach between a two or more of the stringers in front of a corresponding one of the runners, wherein each riser is shaped in a vertical manner to extend above the forward end of the support surface of the corresponding runner to limit food displayed thereon from sliding forwardly thereof;
- and
- wherein the stringers, the runners and the risers combine to provide a tiered-stadium configuration for display of food.

A food serving stadium, comprising:
- a plurality of panels configured for removably interconnecting to form a tiered stadium for display of food
- wherein a first plurality of the panels are shaped to form stringers;
- wherein a second plurality of the panels are shaped to form runners, with each runner configured to removably interconnect between two or more of the stringers, wherein the runners each define a support surface for display of food;
- and
- wherein a third plurality of the panels are shaped to form risers, with each riser configured to removably interconnect between two or more of the stringers in front of a corresponding one of the runners, wherein the risers are each shaped to extend above the support surface of the corresponding runner to limit food displayed thereon from sliding forwardly thereof.

A serving stadium formed by a process comprising:
- forming a plurality of stringers, the stringers each having a plurality of plateaus arranged in an ascending manner from front to back
- forming a plurality of runners, the runners each shaped to removably fit between a two or more of the stringers, wherein each runner is shaped to provide a support surface for display of food;
- forming plurality of risers, the risers each shaped to removably fit between a two or more of the stringers in front of a corresponding one of the runners, wherein each riser is shaped to extend above the support surface of the corresponding runner to limit food displayed thereon from sliding thereof;
- positioning the runners and the risers relative to the stringers to produce a tiered stadium for display of food on the support surfaces.
