How Do I Build A Football Stadium Cake?

I make a boat load of grooms cake in a college town - I bake a sheet, then pop one of these on top.

Slap some fondant over the top. make a gum paste jumbotron with an edible image of a scene of the team playing etc...
you can be done in a couple of hours.
You can fondant the top of the sheet ( I do) or use your grass-tip, but for me, that takes too much time. I use an 18X13 restaurant half sheet, and place the cake off to one side. I put the jumbotron at on end of the stadium ( I mount it up on wooden skewers that I paint silver. I put little dots one next to the other in the seating areas, and outside the stadium, I put little paths leading to the stadium and some fans headed to the stadium ( they are figurines)

When I am feeling ambitious, I make a little "old well" out of a cupcake with some short wilton pillars on the other side of the sheet.
It's a great looking cake, and easy peasy to do.
When I make a shaped cake, I always allow about 15% extra for people who don't know how to cut cake, so the Stadium serves about 14-16 ( it's about the size of a large bundt pan. The double 1/2 sheet below feeds 30-50
I charge for 60 servings, but it probably feeds more than that.
Is anyone trying to replicate this years venue, nrg stadium? I am hosting my first super bowl and want to impress. Somewhat new to baking - any help is much appreciated!
