Thousands of sports fans have been disappointed by event cancellations last year and this year, Subway brought the authentic stadium experience to the homes of fans. For a pair of England fans, Subway and football legend Chris Kamara created a DIY stadium that could be set up in the backyard.
Thanks to a team of designers and technicians, the sports fans got to experience a panoramic view that provided a sense of immersion in the televised event. The setup also included a two-meter screen, surround sound, a professional-quality AstroTurf pitch and floodlights to illuminate the scene in the evening.
Perfect for football fans, Subway newly launched Match Day Bundles that include finger foods like the all-new Nacho Chicken Bites, Nacho Chicken Sub and Potato Crispers.
